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.
Would sucrose test positive or negative with benedicts reagent?
No, surcose is a disaccharide without a hemiacetal group
Do eggs test positive in benedicts test?
yes
Would glucose solution produce a positive Benedicts test?
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.
Why is the Benedict's test is positive when water starch and HCl keep for 30mins?
benedicts test is positive when water starch and HCL keep for 30 mins because glycosidic linkages between amylose and amylopectin breaks and free ends are available to react with Benedict reagent
How many colours are observed in Benedicts test?
There are 4 colors that can be observed in Benedict's test. This is a test that is conducted to show if there is a presence of reduced sugars. This test is also referred to as Benedict's reagent.
What is the positive result for Dragendorff's test?
When Dragehdorrf"s reagent is used for the detection of Alkaloids, the production of red-orange-brown precipitate is a "positive test" and it means the presence of alkaloids is confirmed.
Why does sucrose not react to Benedicts when glucose and fructose its components do?
Fructose and glucose are joined by their glycosidic bond in such a way as to prevent the glucose isomerizing to aldehyde, or the fructose to alpha-hydroxy-ketone form. This stops it reacting to Benidict's reagent. However sucrose indirectly produces a positive result with Benedict's reagent if heated with dilute hydrochloric acid prior to the test, although after this treatment it is no longer sucrose. ;-)
What would the result of crackers in benedicts test?
Turns blue black
When glycogen is added to benedicts reagent why would it remains blue?
Although glycogen is a carbohydrate, it is classified under POLYSACCHARIDES which are non-reducing sugars. Benedict's reagent is used to test for the presence of non-reducing sugars. The positive result for this is a brick-red precipitate or solution. It remained blue (which is negative) due to fact that ALL POLYSACCHARIDES (such as glycogen) ARE NON-REDUCING SUGARS > I'm a Nursing Student. >M.J.T.M.E.
Which is more sensitive test fehlings test or Benedicts test?
benedicts test
What color is a positive test for protein?
A positive test, when using Biuret reagent, would be purple-ish
