Laboratory Test for Reducing Sugars and Amines
Sugars that contain a free carbonyl group are known as reducing sugars. Sugars containing free aldehydes and ketone groups at their anomeric carbon atoms are known as reducing sugars. Reducing sugars include the monosaccharides like glucose, fructose and galactose, and the disaccharides maltose and lactose. Benedict’s test is the laboratory test for reducing sugars. Benedict’s […]
