Requirement:
Chemical: Carbohydrate Testing Reagent, Sulphuric Acid, 0.1N Iodine Solution, Acetic Acid, Phenyl Hydrazine, Sodium Nitrate, Hydrochloric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Distill Water.
Apparatus: Test Tube, Beaker, Water Bath, Test Tube Holder, Glass Rod.
Observation Table:
S. No. | Experiments | Observation | Inference |
---|---|---|---|
1. | Molisch's Test | Violet colour ring between two junction | Carbohydrate Present |
2. | Iodine Test | Dark blue colour seen | Starch - Confirmed |
Result: On the basis of above observation it may found that the given sample of Carbohydrate was Starch.

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
