Qualitative tests of Carbohydrate
• Carbohydrates are the key source of energy used by living things.
• Also serve as extracellular structural elements as in cell wall of bacteria and plant.
• Carbohydrates are defined as the polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones.
• Most , but not all carbohydrate have a formula (CH2O)n (hence the name
hydrate of carbon)
• In human body, the D-glucose is used.
• Simple sugars ends with –ose.
Carbohydrate :
Several classifications of carbohydrates have proven useful, and are outlined in
the following table.
Classification :
1-Simple sugar (one unit) :
Monosaccharides contain one monosaccharide unit.
2-Complex sugar (more than one) :
• Disaccharides contain two monosaccharide units.
• Oligosaccharides contain 3-9 monosaccharide units.
• Polysaccharides can contain more than 9 monosaccharide units.
-Complex carbohydrates can be broken down into smaller sugar units through a
process known as hydrolysis.
Reducing and non reducing sugars
Reducing and non reducing sugar :If the oxygen on the anomeric carbon of a sugar
is not attached to any other structure, that sugar can act as a reducing agent and is
termed a reducing sugar.
reducing Non-reducing
Solubility of sugars [physical property]:
Monosaccharide and disaccharide can be dissolved freely in water because water is a
polar substance, while polysaccharide cannot be dissolved easily in water, because, it
has high molecular weight , which give colloidal solutions in water.
Chemical Properties of Carbohydrates:
1- Molisch Test: specific for carbohydrates.
2- Benedict's Test: presence of reducing sugars.
3- Barfoed's Test: test used for detecting the presence of monosaccharides.
4- Bial's Test: used to detect pentose [5C] monosacharides.
5- Seliwanoff's Test: distinguish between aldoses and ketoses.
1.Molisch test:
This test is specific for all carbohydrates Monosaccharide gives a rapid positive test,
Disaccharides and polysaccharides react slower.
Objective:
To identify the carbohydrate from other macromolecules, lipids and proteins.
Principle:
• The test reagent(H2SO4) dehydrates pentose to form furfural and dehydrates
hexoses to form 5- hydroxymethyl furfural.
• The furfural and 5- hydroxymethyl furfural further react with α-naphthol present
in the test reagent to produce a purple ring.

5- hydroxymethyl furfural
Method :
1-Two ml of a sample solution is placed in a test tube.
2-Two drops of the Molisch reagent (which α-napthol in 95% ethanol) is added.
3-The solution is then poured slowly into a tube containing two ml of concentrated
sulfuric acid so that two layers form, producing violet ring appear as liaison between the
surface separations.

Glucose
Lactose
Starch
2.Benedict's test:
Objective:
To detect the presence of reducing sugars.
• All monosaccharides are reducing sugars; they all have a free reactive carbonyl group.
• Some disaccharides have exposed carbonyl groups and are also reducing sugars.
Other disaccharides such as sucrose are non-reducing sugars and will not react with
Benedict's solution
-Large polymers of glucose, such as starch, are not reducing sugars, since the concentration
of hemiacetal groups is very low.
Principle :
• The copper sulfate (CuSO4) present in Benedict's solution reacts with electrons
from the aldehyde or ketone group of the reducing sugar in alkaline medium.
• Reducing sugars are oxidized by the copper ion in solution to form a carboxylic
acid and a reddish precipitate of copper (I) oxide.
reddish

[copper oxide].
Reducing sugar carboxylic acid
lactose
sucrose
glucose
• One ml of a sample solution is placed in a test tube.
• Two ml of Benedict's reagent is added.
• The solution is then heated in a boiling water bath for five minutes.
• A positive test is indicated by: The formation of a reddish precipitate.
Method :
Tube observation
1-glucose
2-lactose
3-starch
3.Barfoed’s Test:
Objective :
To distinguish between mono- , di- and poly saccharides.
Principle :
Barfoed’s test used copper (II) ions in a slightly acidic medium.
Reducing monosaccharides are oxidized by the copper ion in solution to form a carboxylic
acid and a reddish precipitate of copper (I) oxide within three minutes. Reducing
disaccharides undergo the same reaction, but do so at a slower rate.
-The nonreducing sugars give negative result.
• Place one ml of a sample solution in a test tube.
• Add 3 ml of Barfoed's reagent (a solution of cupric acetate and acetic acid).
• Heat the solution in a boiling water bath for 6 minutes(after the 3 min check the tubes).
Method :
Tube observation
glucose
lactose
starch
Objective:To distinguish between pentose monosaccharide and hexose
monosaccharide
4. Bial’s Test:
Principle: Bial’s test uses concentrated HCl as a dehydrating acid and orcinol +
traces of ferric chloride [FeCl3] as condensation reagent. The test reagent
dehydrates pentoses to form furfural. Furfural further reacts with orcinol and the
iron ion present in the test reagent to produce a bluish or green product, while
hexoses yield muddy-brown to grey condensation product.
• Put 2 ml of a sample solution in a test tube.
• Add 3 ml of Bial's reagent (a solution of orcinol, HCl and ferric chloride) to each tube.
• Heat the tubes gently in hot water bath.
• If the color is not obvious, more water can be added to the tube.
Method :
Tube observation
1-glucose
2-ribose
5.Seliwanoff's Test:
Objective:
used to distinguish between aldoses (like glucose) and ketoses (like fructose).
Principle:
Seliwanoff's Test uses 6M HCl as dehydrating agent and resoncinol as condensation
reagent. The test reagent dehydrates ketohexoses to form 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. 5-
hydroxymethylfurfural further condenses with resorcinol present in the test reagent to
produce a cherry red product within two minutes.
-Aldohexoses react to form the same product, but do so more slowly giving yellow to
faint pink color.
• One half ml of a sample solution is placed in a test tube.
• Two ml of Seliwanoff's reagent (a solution of resorcinol and HCl) is added.
• The solution is then heated in a boiling water bath for two minutes.
Method :
Tube observation
1-glucose
2-fructose
Questions:
1- Name the complex formed by the addition of concentrated sulfuric acid to sugar
solution and explain the reaction?
2- Why sucrose gives negative Benedict test?
3- Explain, although starch has free hemiacetal bond it gives negative Benedict test?
4- Why glucose (monosaccharide) and maltose (disaccharide) give positive Benedict
test?
5- What is the difference between Benedict and Barfoed's reaction?
6- What are the carbohydrates’ that give positive result with Seliwanoff ? why?

  • 16. Objective:To distinguish between pentose monosaccharide and hexose monosaccharide 4. Bial’s Test: Principle: Bial’s test uses concentrated HCl as a dehydrating acid and orcinol + traces of ferric chloride [FeCl3] as condensation reagent. The test reagent dehydrates pentoses to form furfural. Furfural further reacts with orcinol and the iron ion present in the test reagent to produce a bluish or green product, while hexoses yield muddy-brown to grey condensation product.
  • 17. • Put 2 ml of a sample solution in a test tube. • Add 3 ml of Bial's reagent (a solution of orcinol, HCl and ferric chloride) to each tube. • Heat the tubes gently in hot water bath. • If the color is not obvious, more water can be added to the tube. Method : Tube observation 1-glucose 2-ribose
  • 18. 5.Seliwanoff's Test: Objective: used to distinguish between aldoses (like glucose) and ketoses (like fructose). Principle: Seliwanoff's Test uses 6M HCl as dehydrating agent and resoncinol as condensation reagent. The test reagent dehydrates ketohexoses to form 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. 5- hydroxymethylfurfural further condenses with resorcinol present in the test reagent to produce a cherry red product within two minutes. -Aldohexoses react to form the same product, but do so more slowly giving yellow to faint pink color.
  • 19. • One half ml of a sample solution is placed in a test tube. • Two ml of Seliwanoff's reagent (a solution of resorcinol and HCl) is added. • The solution is then heated in a boiling water bath for two minutes. Method : Tube observation 1-glucose 2-fructose
  • 20. Questions: 1- Name the complex formed by the addition of concentrated sulfuric acid to sugar solution and explain the reaction? 2- Why sucrose gives negative Benedict test? 3- Explain, although starch has free hemiacetal bond it gives negative Benedict test? 4- Why glucose (monosaccharide) and maltose (disaccharide) give positive Benedict test? 5- What is the difference between Benedict and Barfoed's reaction? 6- What are the carbohydrates’ that give positive result with Seliwanoff ? why?
