Corn syrup contains high levels of sugar, primarily glucose and fructose, which are reducing sugars. When corn syrup is mixed with Benedict's reagent and heated, it will typically produce a color change, indicating a positive reaction. This occurs because the reducing sugars in the corn syrup can reduce the copper(II) ions in the reagent to copper(I) oxide, resulting in a color shift from blue to green, yellow, or brick red, depending on the concentration of the sugars present.
