Concept introduction: Monosaccharides and most of the disaccharides give positive test with Benedict’s solution. It is used to detect the presence of
(b)
Interpretation: The given disaccharide has to be classified as a reducing or non-reducing sugar.
Concept introduction: Monosaccharides and most of the disaccharides give positive test with Benedict’s solution. It is used to detect the presence of aldehyde or alpha hydroxy ketones. A positive test with Benedict’s solution is confirmed by the formation of a brick-red precipitate.
