u add equal amounts of solution you want to test and bendict and heat until no colour change is seen
then follow these colours.
BlUE=> GREEN=> YELLOW=> ORANGE=> BrICKRED
NO GLUSOE LESS concentration mild concentration high concentration VERY high concentration

∙ 10y agoBenedict's test can be used to identify reducing sugars ( all monosaccharides and some disccharides) and non-reducing sugars ( e.g. sucrose). Benedict's solution is blue in colour. It is added to a solution of sugar and then heated in a water bath for 3-4 minutes. Reducing sugars will reduce Cu2+ ions in the Benedict's solution to Cu+ ions, Giving a reddish brown solution of Cu2O, whereas non-reducing sugars will not give a color change.

Inulin is a polysaccharide composed entirely of fructose units.Which test be used to identify the presence of fructose?
You will have to do a test to find out if fructose is in the product. You can do this with some test strips.
How many colours are observed in Benedicts test?
There are 4 colors that can be observed in Benedict's test. This is a test that is conducted to show if there is a presence of reduced sugars. This test is also referred to as Benedict's reagent.
What is the difference between Benedict's solution and fehling's solution?
Fehling's test uses tartaric acid, and Benedict's test uses citric acid
Why is the Benedict test not exclusive to glucose?
The Benedict test will return a positive value for any reducing sugar. It will work with fructose, for example. Benedict solution oxidizes all the reducing sugars such as glucose, galactose and fructose. This implies that a positive result of Benedict's test can be any of the reducing sugars, not necessarily glucose. It will oxidize the carbonyl (which present in all type of sugar classes). So if we get a positive result in the Benedict test, it is not necessarily glucose; it could be galactose or fructose that also a reducing sugar. So Benedict test can't be used to assure glucose.
Indicator used to test for glucose or sugar?

Does Benedict test indicate monosaccharides polysaccharides and disaccharides?
The Benedict test is useful for monosaccharides and disaccharides.
What type of is saccharide has no change when tested with benidicts solution?
Starch doesn't react in the Benedict test.
Why is Benedict's test unreliable?
its because Benedict's test only gives a possible test for reducing sugars (all monosaccharides, maltose and lactose).
Why is the Glucose Oxidase test a more specific test for urinary glucose that Benedict's test?
the tests are more simple and sensitive than Benedict's tes

Why Benedict's qualitative test is called semi quantitative?
The Benedict's qualitative test is called semi-qualitative since it is not totally conclusive.
