Summary

Carbohydrates are substance that possess a general formula CnH2nOn.

Test for carbohydrates can be performed by preparation of 1% solution. 

Different Reagents used in identification are as:

1. Molisch Reagent

2. Barfoed Reagent

3. Benedict Reagent

4. Scliwanoff Reagnet

5. Fehling A and B and other

Steps included are:

Molisch Test àIodine Test àBenedict Test à Barfoed Test àScliwanoff Test and àOsazone Test

Colours Produced are:

> Violet colour ring between two junction confirms Carbohydate presence.

> Blue and Reddish brown colour indicate the presence of starch or gylcogen respectively by Iodine test and in case of no colour mono or di saccharide may be present.

> Reducing sugar shows Green yellow or Red colour precipitate with Benedict's Test.

> A brick red ppt indicate mono-saccharide presence with Barfoed Reagent.

> Scliwanoff reagent produces cherry red colour i.e. positive for keto sugar.

> Osazone Crystals

- Needle Shape à Glucose/ Fructose

- Sunflower Shape à Maltose

- Cottonball Shape à Lactose
