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


How does 1 factor affect the way sugar dissolves in water?

in simple English if you heat the water, the sugar would disolve easier sugar disolves in water when the sugar particles go into the inter molecular spaces beteen the water molecules so increasing the spaces sure would help you can do this by increasing the temperature or by reducing the pressure another thing is that different types of sugar have different molecule sizes so should have different rates of disolving

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.
