What is the result of Benedict test in lactose?
I know that with Fructose it turns red and forms precipitate
A reducing sugar gives a precipitate of silver metal with Benedict's reagent.?
This is probable an error.
Is maltose non reducing sugar?
maltose is a reducing sugar ..
What is reaction of hexoses?
Hexoses, which are either aldoses or ketoses, show reducing properties. This reducing property is the basis of the test for sugar in the urine and in the blood. When reducing agent is treated with an oxidizing agent such as Cu2+ complex ion,+ a red-orange precipitate of copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) is formed. The unbalanced equation for the reaction of an aldehyde with Copper (II) complex ion can be written as follow: aldehyde + Cu2+ heat NAOH
Why does the starch and water solution not change color?
because orange juice contains fructose sugar. Fructose is a monosaccharide which gives a positive reaction on benedict's test. changing color indicates that the fructose gave a positive reaction.

Can you test for maltose?
Maltose is actually a reducing sugar so a test for reducing sugar could be carried out.1)Add 2cm3 of Benedict's solution to 2cm3 of maltose solution in a test tube and shake.2)Leave the test tube in a beaker of boiling water for 5 minutes.Observations:1)blue solution to green mixture- conclude that there are traces of reducing sugar2)blue solution to yellow or orange precipitate- conclude that there are moderate amt of reducing sugar3)blue solution to brick red precipitate- conclude that there are large amt of reducing sugar
What are the methods of estimation of reducing sugar?
by comparing the colours or the amount of precipitate

This is probable an error.
How can you tell by using Benedicts solution and iodine to seewhat kind of sugar it is?
The test for a reducing sugar using benedicts solution is by, first making a colour chart, using various KNOWN concentrations of glucose situations, if available. Then use the unknown substance and add benedicts solution and boil, a red precipitate should appear and the "redder" it is, the stronger the concentration. You can then filter off the precipitate and place the remaining liquid into a cuvette and pass through a colorimeter, on a red filter, the more light that passes through, the sronger the concentration. Compare this solution to your colour chart to help you determine the concentration of the reducing sugar. Thanks :) steph :)
What indicates a positive result for the benedicts test?
Benedict’s is used to test for glucose but not for sucrose. The test involves heating the sugar with either of the chemicals and observing the color change of blue to orange.Positive is a change of blue to orange.
Why doesn't aspartame react in Benedict's soluion?
It's not a reducing sugar. In fact, it's not a sugar at all. Benedict's solution gives a positive test, brick-red precipitate, with reducing sugars such as glucose and fructose.
Is it true that orange juice and lemon juice are reducing sugar?
yes it does. lemon juice has lots of sugar in it. did u no that lemons have more sugar in than strawberrys!
Why cant table sugar be the positive control in test using Benedict's solution?
Table sugar, or sucrose, doesn't have an aldehyde group. Benedict's solution is used to determine if a reducing sugar is present. If it is a reducing sugar, the mixture will turn green/orange/red. The Benedict's solution contains copper (II) ions, which are reduced to a brick red precipitate of copper (I) oxide when the solution is heated. The Aldehyde (-CHO) group in a reducing sugar is the source of electrons that reduces copper (II) to copper (I). Since sucrose doesn't have an aldehyde group, it will not test positive for reducing sugars; it will not reduce the copper II in Benedict's to copper I and change the color of the solution.Fructose does not have an aldehyde group, yet it is reducing, because it gets rearranged to the reducing glucose in basic solution.All monosaccharides and some disaccharides are reducing sugars. Sucrose is one of the disaccharides that is not a reducing sugar.
Is sucrose is reducing sugar?
No, it is not a reducing sugar.
