The Benedict's test for albumen (albumin) involves adding Benedict's reagent to the sample and heating it. If reducing sugars are present, the solution will change color, typically from blue to green, yellow, or brick-red, depending on the concentration of sugars. However, albumin itself does not react in this test, as it is a protein and does not contain reducing sugars. Therefore, a positive result for reducing sugars would indicate the presence of sugars, not albumin.

Will albumin give positive result to Benedict test?

No, albumin will not give a positive result to the Benedict test. The Benedict test is used to detect the presence of reducing sugars such as glucose, fructose, and maltose, not proteins like albumin.

How many albumen are there?

Three form of albumen surround the yolk. The first part of the albumen is added in the Magnum where the inner and out shell membranes are deposited. A small amount of thin albumen and mineral salts are deposited around the yolk. The majority of albumen is formed in the Isthmus. It is here that Albumen or egg white is secreted and layered around the yolk and the protein strands called Chalazae are attached to the yolk and albumen. Finally, as the eggs reaches the shell gland or uterus, more water is added to the outer edge of the albumen making the outer edge more liquid than the mid and inner albumen.

Will lipids give positive result from Benedict's solution?

No, lipids will not give a positive result with Benedict's solution. Benedict's test is used primarily to detect reducing sugars, such as glucose and fructose, by forming a colored precipitate when heated in the presence of these sugars. Lipids do not contain the necessary functional groups that react with Benedict's reagent, so they do not produce a color change.


What is the role of water in the Benedict reagent?

It acts as a control for the experiment so that you can compare the result (of benedict's test in water) with the other test (using food with sugar)
