    Study Notes

    Carbohydrate Classification

    • Carbohydrates are aliphatic organic compounds that do not contain acidic groups.
    • Classified into three categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides.
    • Monosaccharides are simple sugars like glucose and fructose.
    • Disaccharides are made up of two monosaccharide units, such as lactose, maltose and sucrose.
    • Disaccharides can be categorized as reducing or non-reducing sugars.
    • Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates formed by many monosaccharide units, like starch.

    Molish Test

    • A general test for carbohydrates.
    • A violet ring forms at the interface of two liquids when α-naphthol and concentrated sulfuric acid are added to a carbohydrate solution.
    • The violet color spreads throughout the solution after shaking.

    Iodine Test

    • Detects the presence of starch.
    • A blue solution indicates a positive test for starch.
    • A pale yellow solution indicates a negative test for starch.

    Fehling's Test

    • Detects the presence of reducing sugars.
    • A brown or reddish-brown solution after boiling indicates a reducing sugar.
    • No color change indicates a non-reducing sugar.

    Tollen's Test

    • Tests for reducing sugars.
    • A silver or grey precipitate forms when the solution is heated in a water bath, indicating a reducing sugar.
    • No precipitate indicates sucrose.

    Osazone Test

    • Differentiates between monosaccharides and disaccharides.
    • Yellow crystals formed while heating indicate monosaccharides (e.g., glucose, fructose).
    • Yellow crystals formed after heating indicate disaccharides (e.g., lactose, maltose).

    Rapid Furfural Test

    • Differentiates between glucose and fructose.
    • A violet color appearing during boiling indicates fructose.
    • A violet color appearing after boiling for two minutes indicates glucose.

    Furfural Test

    • Differentiates between glucose and fructose.
    • A yellow color on aniline acetate paper inserted at the top of the tube indicates glucose.
    • No change in color indicates the presence of fructose.
