? Give an example of a protein structure that would give positive test with. Molisch's Reagent. 2) Carbohydrates as Reducing Sugars: A reducing sugar is any
Other disaccharides such as sucrose are non-reducing sugars and will not react with Benedict's solution. Large polymers of glucose such as starch
test tube holder. • This hydrolyses sucrose into glucose and fructose. • Using a dropper take a small quantity of NaOH solution.
Chemical Properties of Carbohydrates: 1- Molisch Test: specific for carbohydrates. 2- Benedict's Test: presence of reducing sugars. 3- Barfoed's

22 Feb 2022 food science [4]. The qualitative analysis of carbohydrates is an im- portant test for detecting and characterising carbohydrates based.
Carbohydrate test reagents can be divided into three general classes based on the type of reaction in- REAC 446/Qualitative Testing for Carbohydrates.
The air-dried Cissus quadrangularis plant reported to contains (%) moisture 13.1 protein 12.8
anthrone in sulfuric acid with carbohydrate solutions and suggested it as a qualitative test for carbohydrate material. He examined 18.
QUALITATIVE TESTS OF CARBOHYDRATE MACROMOLECULE CARBOHYDRATES Are the key source of energy used by living things Also serve as extracellular structural elements as in cell wall of bacteria and plant Structure: Carbohydrates are defined as the polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones Most but not all carbohydrate have a formula
Qualitative tests of Carbohydrate Carbohydrate : Carbohydrates are the key source of energy used by living things Also serve as extracellular structural elements as in cell wall of bacteria and plant Carbohydrates are defined as the polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones
Molisch test is a general test used to detect the presence of carbohydrates If a negative test result is obtained the presence of sugars in the sample is omitted It is a useful test for identifying any compound which can be dehydrated to furfural or hydroxymethylfurfural in the presence of H2SO4
Chemical Properties of Carbohydrates: 1- Molisch Test: specific for carbohydrates 2- Benedict's Test: presence of reducing sugars 3- Barfoed's Test: test used for detecting the presence of monosaccharides 4- Bial's Test: used to detect pentose [5C] monosacharides 5- Seliwanoff's Test: distinguish between aldoses and ketoses
Test objective Molischtest To identify the carbohydrate from other macromolecules lipids and proteins Benedict's test Benedict's reagent is used as a test for the presence of reducing sugars Barfoed’sTest to distinguish between reducing monosaccharides reducing disaccharides and non reducing disaccharides
5 3 PROCEDURE FOR QUALITATIVE ANALYSISOF CARBOHYDRATES We have explained the procedure under three phases Phase-I focuseson identification of the sample as mono or disaccharide or polysaccharide Phase-II is helpful in identifying the sample as Aldose or Ketose sugar Finally Phase-III is confirmatory using osazone crystals
