Would raffinose react with benedicts reagent?
Benedicts reagent tests for reducing sugars, so the question is, is raffinose a reducing sugar. Raffinose is a trisaccharide made up of glucose, fructose and galactose. It is not a reducing sugar because all of its anomeric carbons are bonded, so it will not react with benedicts reagent.
Does using benedicts reagent on honey produce a positive result?
yes
How does sodium chloride react with Benedicts?
The Benedict reagent is not for sodium chloride testing.
If benedicts reagent turns red what substance is present?
the sugar glucose
What type of bio molecule is from reagents cooper ions and iodine-potassium?
what kind of bio molecule is this when mix with a benedicts reagent and biuret reagent
Would sucrose test positive or negative with benedicts reagent?
No, surcose is a disaccharide without a hemiacetal group
What is the difference between Benedict's Reagent and Biuret Reagent?
Benedicts reagent is used to check reducing sugars , it need hat to work and gives red color when positive ,. While biuret reagent is for proteins .there is no need to use heat and gives purple , violet color when positive ..
What sugar might be present in a sweet tasting food that tests negative with the Benedicts reagent?
Sucrose. Sucrose is a disaccharide therefore does not have free electrons in the sugar to react with the Benedict reagent. Glucose has free electrons therefore shows positive with the Benedict reagent.
What compound can be oxidized by both Benedicts solution and Tollens reagent?
All the compounds having free aldehyde group as reducing sugars.
Will hydrolysed dextrine give positive response to Benedict test?
Yes, it should. Benedicts test will be positive for reducing sugars, and since glucose is such a sugar, and would be a product of dextrin hydrolysis, you should get a positive result with Benedicts reagent.
Which carbohydrates give a positive reaction with benedicts reagent?
all reducing sugars - monosaccharides like glucose and a few non-reducing disaccharides like maltose
How do you prepare Benedicts reagent?
You can use it to test the glucose in urine to see if someone has diabetes or not.
