Aldehydes are what create the color in any stain; especially the PAS stain. In reference, the aldehyde are the pigments that can cause permanent staining in a fabric.
ketones and aldehydes
No, monomers and polymers of aldehydes and ketones do not have hydroxyl groups attached. Aldehydes and ketones have a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to at least one carbon atom and do not have any hydroxyl groups (-OH) attached to the carbon chain.
All primary (10) alcohols may be oxidized to aldehydes.
Aldehydes
The aldehydes and ketones having three or less carbon atoms are soluble in water.

Carbohydrates
Aldehydes are less sterically hindered than ketones. Also, aldehydes have fewer electron donating groups (EDG's) which can stabilize an electron-poor area. The extra carbon chain that ketones have that aldehydes do not have are the reason for both of these things. The neighboring carbon to the carbonyl carbon is an EDG and the carbon chain causes steric hindrance.
