Benedict's test is the appropriate protocol for testing the presence of carbohydrates, undergoing a color change when heated due to the presence of reducing sugars like glucose.
Benedict's test is the appropriate testing protocol for the general test of carbohydrates, specifically simple carbohydrates like monosaccharides and some disaccharides. This test identifies reducing sugars with free ketone or aldehyde groups, producing a color change upon heating.
For example, when glucose is mixed with Benedict's solution and heated, a color change occurs, varying based on the amount of monosaccharides present. A greenish solution indicates a small amount, while an orangish precipitate forms with a large amount.
Conducting the Benedict's test involves adding the test solution (containing the carbohydrate) to Benedict's solution and then heating the mixture, observing the color change as an indication of the presence of carbohydrates.
