No, Benedicts reagent will show positive results if the carbohydrate is a reducing sugar. You will know if it is positive if the sample will turn from blue to green then to orange when you are cooling the solution, which is the last step when you are performing the benedicts test for carbohydrates.
Benedict solution is the chemical indicator for simple sugars.
Non reducing sugars do not react with Benedict's reagent. After the test, sample without reducing sugars remains the same, blue.When reducing sugars are present in the sample, we can consider four results after the test is completed: a) green, low amount, that is 0.1 to 0.5% of reducing sugars in solution; b) yellow, low amounts of reducing sugars, 0.5 to 1.0%; c) orange, moderate content of reducing sugars, 1.0 to 1.5% of reducing sugars present; and c) brick red, large amount of reducing sugars in solution, 1.5 to 2.0%.
Sugars are a group of compounds carbohydrates, and are built of cyclic compounds. Simple sugars are called monosaccharides have just one ring, disaccharides have two fused by an "ether" link. and are Table sugar is sucrose a disaccharide made of two linked monosaccharides glucose and fructose, C12H22O11
Because the sugars and salts and various chemicals (if present) actually dissolve. Hence, it is a solution.
reducing sugars are those sugars which cannot donate electron and cannot reduce other solution
Benedict's Solution
No, Benedicts reagent will show positive results if the carbohydrate is a reducing sugar. You will know if it is positive if the sample will turn from blue to green then to orange when you are cooling the solution, which is the last step when you are performing the benedicts test for carbohydrates.
benidict's solution
Benedict's solution is used to test for simple sugars and iodine is used to test for starches.
Benedict solution is the chemical indicator for simple sugars.
Benedict's solution is most commonly used for testing if sugars are present in any enzyme, or solution, that contains starch. ex. Water + Starch Then test for sugars with benedict's.
Test it with Benedict's solution.
