Why has water been included as one of the test materials for reducing sugars starch and protein?
sugars and starch are both made only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen that is insoluble in cold water or alcohol
Does starch contain reducing sugars?
The Fehling's and the Benedict's Test are the just two of the many tests conducted in identifying reducing and non-reducing sugars. Reducing sugars like the monosaccharides can reduce cupric hydroxide from the reagents used. This is because the reducing sugars have a free oH group at their anomeric carbon that can cause the reduction of mild oxidizing agents like fehling and Benedict solution.In non reducing sugars this oH is involved in glycosidic bond formation.
What process changes starch to simple sugars using a biological catalyst?
protein synthesis
Are oganic compounds made of sugars or starches?
Sugars and starch are organic compounds. But all organic compounds are not made of sugars and starch.
When a non reducing sugar is tested with Benedict's reagent?
Non reducing sugars do not react with Benedict's reagent. After the test, sample without reducing sugars remains the same, blue.When reducing sugars are present in the sample, we can consider four results after the test is completed: a) green, low amount, that is 0.1 to 0.5% of reducing sugars in solution; b) yellow, low amounts of reducing sugars, 0.5 to 1.0%; c) orange, moderate content of reducing sugars, 1.0 to 1.5% of reducing sugars present; and c) brick red, large amount of reducing sugars in solution, 1.5 to 2.0%.

What does the breakdown of protein and starch produce?
Sugars.
Which carbohydrate is more complex reducing sugar or starch?
Starch is a complex carbohydrate and is an important constituent of the human body.

What is a good abs diet?
Protein and green veggies, less starch and sugars

protein synthesis
How would you test an unknown solution for each of the following sugar fat starch protein?
Sugars - Benedict's solution Fats - Brown Paper Starch - Iodine Protein - Biuret Solution
What does iodine and Benedict's test indicate?
Iodine tests for the presence of starch. It is brownish yellow in color if there is no starch present, and bluish black if starch is present. Benedict's solution is used to test for the presence of a reducing sugar, changing from its usual color blue to green to brick red if reducing sugars are present. No reducing sugar solution stays blue.
Is glucose and fructose reducing sugars?
yes, both glucose and fructose are reducing sugars. but the sucrose is non-reducing sugar although it is formed from two reducing sugars.
Can saliva dissolve sugar?
No, saliva doesn't contain reducing sugars, but it does contain enzymes that break down starch. Even so, starch is not a reducing sugar either - it is a polysaccharide.
Are oganic compounds made of sugars or starches?
Sugars and starch are organic compounds. But all organic compounds are not made of sugars and starch.
Will an enzyme that breaks down starch work on an enzyme that breaks down protein?
Saliva contains amylase, which breaks down complex sugars such as starch. However starch can't ever be broken down into proteins. They are fundamentally different, starch is a polysaccharide while protein is a polypeptide.
