take 3cm cubed of the carbohydrate and put in a test tube with 5cm cubed of benedict's reagent. If the carbohydrate is a reducing sugar the solution would turn red. If it contains a non- reducing sugar the solution would remain blue. Then take the non-reducing sugar boil it with dilute hydrochloric acid, cool it and neutralise it with sodium hydrogencarbonate and retest with benedict's reagent if the soultion turns red it means the non- reducing sugar has been hydrolysed to its monomers.If it remains blue there is no reducing sugar present. take 3cm cubed of the carbohydrate and put in a test tube with 5cm cubed of benedict's reagent.
