No, Benedicts reagent will show positive results if the carbohydrate is a reducing sugar. You will know if it is positive if the sample will turn from blue to green then to orange when you are cooling the solution, which is the last step when you are performing the benedicts test for carbohydrates.

Benedict's reagent is typically used to indicate the presence of reducing sugars. Monosaccharides and many disaccharides will also produce a positive reaction. However non-reducing sugars such as sucrose, starches, and more complex carbohydrates will not react with Benedict's reagent.

It only tests for mono and dissacharide sugars in certain foods or materials.

Yes. Glucose has an aldehyde group when it's not in it's cyclic form. considering there's a equillibrium between the chain and cyclic form, then the test = positive.

What tests are used to test for the presence of starch and glucose?

for the starch iodine test is performed in which the starch reacts with iodine to produce dark blue colour which confirms the presence of starch. for glucose benedict's and fehling's test is performed. benedict's test: 1 ml sample is mixed with 1 ml of benedicts solution and the heated upto boiling if the colur changes to brick red then it confirms the presence of glucose fehling's test: similarly 1 ml fehling's solution I & fehling's solution II each in taken together and to it 1 ml of the sample is takenon then heated uptill boiling. if the colour changes to brick red the it confirms the presence of glucose.

Why does starch produce a negative result with Benedict's reagent?

Benedict test have a negative result in glycogen because glycogen is a polysaccharide. Benedict test is meant for testing reducing sugars. It can also give positive results in the case of disaccharide or monosaccharide.


How do you know that glucose is a compound?

Glucose is a compound made up of the elements carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Glucose solution in water is a mixture of water molecules and glucose molecules. Mixing them doesn't produce any new substance, and you can separate them without creating any new molecules.
