Fehling's reagent contains CuO and NaOH. I think fructose could give a positive test because the OH- can react with the sugar and "move" the carbonyl around the carbon backbone, including to the terminal position, forming an aldehyde. If the aldehyde reacts with the CuO pretty quickly, then you may have created an "aldehyde sink" that could consume all of your fructose into the carboxylic acid.
Although fructose is a ketose, it can still be oxidized by Fehling's reagent because it has a reducing aldehyde group in its structure. This aldehyde group can undergo oxidation reactions, leading to the formation of a carboxylic acid, which is detected by Fehling's reagent as a positive test result for reducing sugars.
Yes, fructose is a ketose, for which Seliwanoff's test is most sensitive. Sucrose is neither entirely a ketose nor an aldose, but is a mixture of both. It will react, but more slowly, producing a much lighter pinkish color.
Fructose is a common example of a ketose, as it has a ketone group in its structure. Other examples include ribulose and dihydroxyacetone. These molecules have a carbonyl group (ketone) on the second carbon atom in the chain.
An aldose-ketose pair refers to two monosaccharides that are isomers of each other, differing in the placement of a carbonyl group. In an aldose, the carbonyl group is located at the end of the carbon chain, while in a ketose, it is located within the carbon chain. For example, glucose is an aldose, while fructose is a ketose, and they are considered an aldose-ketose pair.
The monosaccharide found in fruit is typically fructose.
One common test to differentiate between an aldose and ketose is the Benedict's test. Aldoses can reduce Benedict's reagent (Cu2+) to form a colored precipitate, while ketoses do not react with Benedict's reagent in the same way. Another test is Seliwanoff's test, where aldoses produce a deep red color rapidly, while ketoses do so slowly or do not produce the color change at all.
Glucose oxidizes very quickly, and creates a silver mirror layer between the glucose solution and the Tollens' reagent. This is because of how the ketose reacts and reduces the silver molecules in Tollen's reagent.

Glucose is an aldose whereas fructose in a ketose. There is a simple qualitative test for distinguishing between D-Glucose and D-Fructose.
the glucose would remain yellow which is the initial colour of the seliwanoff's reagent. the fructose however being a ketose forms a furfural because of the HCL present in the seliwanoff reagent and reacts with the resorcinol to give a red cherry or pink colour.

Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides made by plants. Glucose is a simple aldose, fructose is a ketose.
The majority would be incorrect. Sucrose is not considered an aldose or a ketose, because it is a disaccharide made from glucose (an aldose) and fructose (a ketose). So, it has both properties within its structure. It is a non-reducing sugar.It is possible that many say sucrose is a ketose because sucrose will fail the Benedict's test, which is designed to detect aldoses.

Seliwanoff's test is used to differentiate aldose [glucose] from ketose [fructose]. Seliwanoff's reagent is composed of resorcinol and HCl. When heated with concentrated hydrochloric acid, the polysaccharides and oligosaccharides hydrolyze to yield monosaccharides. Then, resorcinol reacts in the dehydrated ketose to form oxymethylfurfurol produce a deep cherry red color [red precipitate]. Aldoses produces a faint pink colored solution.
The difference is actually in their structures. Galactose is an aldose wiith formyl functional group and belongs ti aldehydes. Whereas fructose is ketose and belongs to ketones.
The o-toluidine method is specific to detecting glucose because o-toluidine reacts specifically with aldehyde functional groups on glucose molecules. Fructose does not have an aldehyde functional group, so it will not react with o-toluidine in the same way as glucose, making this method ineffective for detecting fructose in a solution.
An aldose is also called the aldosugar and has a functional group of an aldehyde group. Examples are glucose and glyceraldehyde. While a ketose is also called the ketosugar and has a functional group of of a keto group. Examples are fructose and dihydroxyacetone.
