    Benedict's reagent is a test used to identify reducing sugars, which contain ketone or aldehyde groups. When Benedict's solution and a simple carbohydrate are heated together, the reagent's color changes, typically to brick red or orange-red, indicating the presence of a reducing sugar such as a monosaccharide or disaccharide.

    BENEDICT’S REAGENT:
    A TEST FOR REDUCING SUGAR

    It is a procedure used to test for simple


    carbohydrates. It identifies reducing sugars that
    contain free ketone or aldehyde functional groups.

    A Benedict’s solution and a simple carbohydrate


    are brought to heat and changes in the reagent’s
    color take place. It usually changes to brick red or
    orange-red.
