3) Fruktosa Reaction
Purple compound
4) Lactose Reaction
Purple compound
b. Explanation
In this experiment we applied the principle of molisch test. The
principle of the molisch test is a reaction of carbohydrate dehydration by
sulfuric acid or H2SO4 to form a complementary ring or hydroxyl methyl
hydroxide when reacting with α-naftol present in the reagent. If in the
snippet there is a carbohydrate, a red ring will form on the bottom
layer. The red will soon turn into a dark purple. Once dried and diluted
with water it will turn purple. First, the extracts (sucrose, glucose, and
amylum) were added for 2-5 drops and 5 drops of Molisch reaction.
Then put 7-10 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid into the base of
the tube with a drop of pipes in such a way that sulfuric acid forms a
separate layer from the initial layer. Addition of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to
hydrolyze polysaccharide (amylum) and produce furfural. Because strong
acids (H2SO4) cause hydrolysis of some polysaccharides and strong acids
can react with a solution containing monosaccharides (sucrose and
glucose) to produce furfural or its derivatives.
When sucrose is added to the molisch reaction, the
sucrose is hydrolyzed by concentrated H2SO4 to appear in red sediment
until finally dark purple. The dark purple color indicates that the trailer is a
carbohydrate (positive test). Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose and
fructose
When glucose is added to the molisch reaction, the mixture of
glucose and the reaction of molisch (α-naftol) and reacted with
concentrated H2SO4 will produce furfural hydroxymethyl until it forms a
reddish-brown color first, eventually turning purple. Dark purple indicates
that glucose is a monosaccharide-based carbohydrate (positive test).
When amylum is added to the molisch reaction, the amylum and
molish reaction (α-naftol) and reacted with concentrated H2SO4 will
be hydrolyzed to appear red and eventually turn purple. Blackish purple
indicates that amylum is a carbohydrate, a polysaccharide (positive test)
Sucrose, glucose, and amylum showed a positive test with the
addition of a molisch reaction that identified all three as
carbohydrates. With the addition of concentrated H2SO4 will hydrolyze
carbohydrates from the form of polysaccharides/disaccharides into
monosaccharides.

b. Explanation
In this experiment there are 3 samples that will be tested seliwanof
they are amylum, lactose, and glucose. The first step is to prepare the
tools and materials needed, for the materials needed are seliwanoff,
amylum, lactose, glucose, aquades, methylated reagents, while the tools
that are needed are test tubes, pipettes, beaker , test tube racks.
In the first experiment 5 drops of yellow wish seliwanof reagent
solution were added then 5 drops of colorless amylum solution. Then
shake it, then heat it in the water heated. Note the time needed to colour
change. The solution does not change color. This indicates that amylum
does not contain ketone groups, so they do not change color and give
negative test results.
In the second experiment 5 drops of yellow wish seliwanof
reagent solution were added, and 5 drops of colorless lactose solution
were added. Then shake the solution, then heated it in water bath. Note
the time needed to colour change. The solution does not change. This
indicates that glucose does not contain ketone groups, so it does not
change color, and gives negative test results.
The last, in the third experiment 5 drops of yellow wish seliwanof
reagent solution were added, then 5 drops of colorless glucose solutin.
Then shake the solution, then heat it in the heated. Note the time needed
to colour change. The solution does not change. This indicates that
glucose does not contain ketone groups, so it does not change color, and
gives negative test results.

b. Explanation
After heating a dark blue solution was formed in each tube, and
after heating> 10 minutes of starch and lactose did not form a brick red
precipitate, but in glucose formed a brick red precipitate. This shows
that glucose is a monosaccharide, where monosaccharides quickly
reduce Cu (II) ions from Barfoed reagents to Cu (I). The red brick
deposits formed are Cu2O deposits.
The principle is the reduction of Cu2 + found in barfoed reagents
by the reducing group on monocasarida in acidic conditions. A positive
reaction is indicated by the appearance of an orange-red or brick-red
example. In the barfoed glucose test, fructose, lactose and sucrose react
positively which is marked by the presence of red brick deposits after
heating. So that glucose, fructose, lactose, and sucrose are reducing
monosaccharide sugars as in the literature which states that the Bafoed
test is used to test the presence of reducing monosaccharide sugars.

b. Explanation
The fourth experiment is the tollens test. The purpose of the tollens
test is to identify the presence of reducing sugars in carbohydrates.
Aldehyde groups in all aldose species can be oxidized by weak
oxidizing agents such as tollens (Hidajati, et al, 2019). The reduction
from Ag + to Ag by reducing sugars is characterized by the formation
of a silver mirror (Ag) and oxidizes the aldehyde group to the
carboxylate group. A positive reaction by Tollens reagents is
characterized by the formation of a silver mirror that shows a positive
test for reducing sugars. Tests on Tollens reagents are based on the ease
of aldehyde groups formed from reversible reactions of cyclic
hemiasetal monosaccharides (Matsjeh et al, 1996).
In the tollens test there are four carbohydrates to be tested, namely
sucrose, starch, lactose and glucose. Each of these substances is
inserted into each test tube. Test tube A contains sucrose, test tube B
contains starch, test tube C contains lactose, and test tube D contains
glucose. After that, each test tube drops 5 drops of tollens reagents that
have been made earlier.
Test tube A, the addition of a colorless solution tollens reagent to
sucrose a colorless solution forming a silver mirror according to the
theory shows that sucrose contains a reducing group. Sucrose is
hydrolyzed into monosaccharides namely glucose and fructose. Tollens
reagents will be reduced by monosaccharides both glucose and fructose
from +1 to 0 so that the Ag deposits or commonly known as silver
mirrors will be obtained.
Test Tube B, the addition of the colorless reagent tollens reagents
to starch. The colorless solution is not formed silver mirror only brown
solution, because starch has hemiasetal at one end of the molecule, but
this end is only a small part of the whole starch molecule, so it does not
affect the reaction. As a result, starch cannot reduce tollens reagents.
This shows that starch is not a reducing sugar.
Test tube C, the addition of the colorless reagent tollens reagent to
the lactose of the colorless solution formed silver mirror according to
the theory it shows that lactose is a reducing sugar. Lactose is
hydrolyzed into monosaccharides namely glucose and galactose.
Glucose and galactose which contain aldose groups and are reducing
sugars can reduce Ag + charged + 1 from toll reagent to Ag neutral
atom which has 0 charge to form silver mirror.
Test Tube D, the addition of colorless solution tollens reagents to
glucose colorless solution formed silver mirror according to the theory
it shows that lactose is a reducing sugar. Glucose is a reducing sugar,
glucose has an aldose group that can reduce Ag + from toll reagent
reagents to Ag to form a silver mirror.
Thus, substances containing reducing sugars are shown by the
formation of silver mirrors namely glucose, sucrose, and lactose

b. Explanation
This experiment has the purpose to identify the presence of reducing sugar in
the sample through the fehling test. This test is based on the reactivity of the
substance to be oxidized against weak oxidizing agents. The principle of the
fehling test is the ability of a sample containing reducing sugars to reduce a
fehling reagent containing Cu2+ ions to Cuions+ which is characterized by the
formation of red brick deposits in the sample. Red brick deposits occur due to
Cu2+ ions which are reduced by the aldehyde or ketone groups contained in the
sample (Fessenden, 1992).
Fehling reagents are made from a mixture of Fehling A and Fehling B.
Fehling A (34.65 grams of copper sulfate in 500 ml of water) and Fehling B (a
mixture of 173 grams of sodium hydroxisa and 125 grams of potassium sodium
tartrate in 500 mL of water). The mixture of Fehling A solution and Fehling B
solution is a blue solution (Sumardjo, 2009).
The work step in this experiment is that 2 drops of sample are added with 2-3
ml of Fehling's solution. Then shake and heat it on a water bath for 3-4 minutes.
In this experiment there were 4 samples, namely starch, lactose, sucrose and
glucose in 4 different test tubes.
a) Test tube 1. Starch
2 drops of colorless starch are put into a test tube and added with 2-3 ml of
fehling solution. The solution will be blue. After it is shaken and heated, starch
does not produce brick red deposits. This is because starch is not a reducing sugar.
Although starch has an unsubstituted anomeric C atom at the end of the chain, the
size of the starch molecule is not proportional to the size of Cu2+ (in the Fehling
reagent), so the possibility of reaction is very small. So for the Fehling test on
starch negative.
b) Test tube 2. Lactose
2 drops of colorless lactose are inserted into the test tube and added with 2-3
ml of fehling solution. The solution will be blue. After being shaken and heated,
lactose will produce brick red deposits. Deposition occurs because anomeric C
atoms in lactose and glucose have not been substituted in the sense that OH
groups bound to anomeric C atoms are still free to move from the alpha (α) to beta
(β) position or the molecule undergoes mutarotation. When mutarotation occurs,
the chain structure will open (previously closed). It is during this open chain that
the Fehling reagent can oxidize the aldehyde group on the anomeric C atom. This
is what causes the Fehling reagent to oxidize aldose groups in lactose and glucose
which is characterized by the formation of brick red deposits (Cu2O) which is the
result of reduction of the Fehling reagent. So lactose is a reducing sugar.

b. Explanation
Sucrose is a type of disaccharide carbohydrate consisting of two
monosaccharides namely fructose and glucose. Both of them bind to C
atom number 1 to glucose and number 2 to fructose to form a 1,2-β-
glycosidic linkage. The anomeric C atom in sucrose has been
substituted so that it cannot reduce Benedict's reagent. However, in an
acidic and warming atmosphere sucrose will be completely hydrolyzed
or sugar inversion will form into glucose and fructose. So that the test
with Benedict and seliwanoff will be positive, where Benedict's reagent
will reduce glucose hydrolysis results and red brick deposits are
produced. While the fructose seliwanof test results from hydrolysis will
be detected to form a cherry red solution. While the success in addition
to hot water will also experience a hydrolysis reaction, but the reaction
is not as great as the addition of acids so that the hydrolysis reaction in
the addition of hot water is a partial hydrolysis reaction. While the
addition of cold water does not occur hydrolysis reaction.
Hydrolysis of sucrose in addition to acids and heating, addition of
hot water, and the addition of results obtained as follows:

not a cherry red solution formed in seliwanof.
In the results of experiments with the addition of acid followed by
heating obtained positive tests with benedict and seliwanoff reagents
which indicate that hydrolysis of sucrose to glucose and fructose
occurs. This is in accordance with the theory.

b. Explanation
This experiment has purpose to produce glucose, maltose, dekstrin
that test with iodin and benedict. To check polysaccharides in sample
using iodine test, and to distinguish between aldose and ketose sugar in
carbohydrates. The hydrolysis reaction of amylum involves water as a
reductor. To observe the ongoing hydrolysis reaction can be tested with
iodine. Iodine will react if the sample still contain amylum and cause the
color of the solution to turn into blackish purple. To test the hydrolyzed
amylum into glucose, benedict’s test can be performed, which show the
sample turns blue and there is a red brick deposit at the bottom of the tube.
1) Test tube 1
First step is 2 ml of amylum solution added by 2 ml of HCl 3M.
This way of addition concentrated acid is to hydrolyzed the amylum
and also break the amylum’s structure because it has corrosive
characteristic. Then steamed in the waterbath. After that cooled it
down, continue with added 3 ml NaOH 3M, the result is colorless
solution. The reaction is :
Test tube 1
n+
H+, OH-
Then separate into 2 test tube with the same volume, which labelled
by 1a and 1b, then test tube 1a added 1 drop of iodin which has brown
colour, the result is the colour still colorless. It indicate that amylum
was not hydrolized. This because iod reacts with basic solution so it
does not reacts with amylum. This situation occurs because the
presence of NaOH in the solution reacts with iod formed NaI and NaOI,
so that in the test with the addition of NaOH, there is no change in the
solution of amylum. The reaction is :
Test tube 1A
+ I2
For test tube 1b, added by 3 drops of benedict reagent. The solution
become electric blue solution. Next, heated it. The result is the formed
brick red precipitate. This means, test tube 1b is perfectly-hydrolyzed.
The reaction that occur is:
Test tube 1B
+ Cu2+ (aq) → (aq) + Cu2O (s) + 3H2O (l)
2) Test tube 2
For the second test tube, the first step is 2 ml of amylum solution
added by 2 mL of aquadest then steamed for a while in the waterbath in
order to hydrolyzed the amylum. After that cooled it down, then
continue added 3 mL of aquadest again and separated into two different
test tube with the same volume, which labelled by 2a and 2b. The
reaction that occur is:
Test tube 2
H2O
n+
For test tube 2a, added 1 drop of iodin which has brown colour,
then the solution changed from colorless into dark-purple solution. The
reaction that occurs is :
Test tube 2A
+ n I2 →
n + 2 H2O (l)
And for test tube 2b, added 1 mL of Benedict reagent then heated
it. The solution become darker than before which is light blue solution
and no precipitate formed. It indicate that there is no hydrolize process
that occur. The reaction that occurs is :
Test tube 2B
n + Cu2+ (aq)
3) Test tube 3
For the third tube, the first step is 2 ml of amylum solution added
by 2 mL aquades like test tube 2 but no heating process. Then, added
again with 3 mL aquades and heated in the waterbath. The reaction that
occurs is :
Test tube 3

+ n I2 →
n + 2 H2O (l)
