Benedict's reagent is used as a test for the presence of all monosaccharides, and generally also reducing sugars. These include glucose, galactose, mannose, lactose and maltose. Even more generally, Benedict's test will detect the presence of aldehydes (except aromatic ones), and alpha-hydroxy-ketones, including those that occur in certain ketoses. - wikipedia

Actually, Benedict's Test is a test for simple reducing sugars. Simple Reducing Sugars have an open chain with an aldehyde or ketone group which loses electrons (becomes oxidised) and reduces the blue Copper (II) ions in the Benedict's reagent to orange Copper (I) ions.

Benedict's Reagent test for free aldehyde or ketone groups or Reducing Sugars in simple sugars. Benedict's Reagent contains Cupric ion (Cu^+2) and it will be reduced to Cuprous Oxide (Cu20) when it makes contact with the Reducing Sugars. The result will be a greenish brown to a reddish orange color.

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.
If benedicts reagent turns red what substance is present?
the sugar glucose
How do you detect glucose in a plant's leaf?
In order to detect glucose in a plant's leaf, you will need several items, including leaves, a beaker, a boiling tube, Tollen's reagent, and Fehling's reagent. If the leaf contains glucose, the test-tube containing the Tollen's reagent will turn a silver color.
What reagent is used to test for starch?
The reagent that is used to test for starch is a mixture of iodine and potassium iodide in water, or an Iodine - KI reagent. If the reagent turns blue-black in color, then starch is present.
What is the reagent used to test proteins?
Buiret Reagent
What does Benedicts reagent do?
It tests for glucose.
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
If benedicts reagent turns red what substance is present?
the sugar glucose
How does sodium chloride react with Benedicts?
The Benedict reagent is not for sodium chloride testing.
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
What reagent is used to detect glucose in a solution?
You are not supposed to use buret reagent to detect sugar carbohydrates in a solution. Buret reagent is used to detect proteins. Try using iodine ( I2KI)
What is biuret reagent used for?
Biuret reagent detect peptide bonds.
What reagent is used to detect protein in a solution?
biuret reagent
Would sucrose test positive or negative with benedicts reagent?
No, surcose is a disaccharide without a hemiacetal group
What macromolecule does lugols reagent detect?
Starch
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 ..
