Study Notes
Carbohydrates Overview
- Composed of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O).
- Essential organic compounds that provide energy and structural functions.
Types of Carbohydrates
- Monosaccharides: Simple sugars like glucose, fructose, galactose, and ribose.
- Disaccharides: Formed by two monosaccharides:
- Maltose: Glucose + Glucose
- Lactose: Glucose + Galactose
- Sucrose: Glucose + Fructose
- Polysaccharides: Complex carbohydrates for storage and structure:
- Starch: Energy storage in plants
- Cellulose: Structural component of plant cell walls
- Glycogen: Energy storage in animals
Starch
- Primary function is to store glucose produced through photosynthesis.
- Found in foods such as potatoes and root vegetables.
Carbohydrate Tests
- Benedict's Test:
- Detects monosaccharides and disaccharides (not sucrose).
- Positive result: colored precipitate (yellow, green, orange, or red).
- Must be mixed with sample and heated; limitations include being qualitative.
- Seliwanoff Test:
- Identifies complex carbohydrates with fructose.
- Aldohexoses react but more slowly than ketoses like fructose.
- Iodine Test:
- Detects starch by mixing with iodine solution; positive: dark blue, negative: yellow.
- Fermentation Test:
- Detects monosaccharides and disaccharides (not lactose and galactose).
- Produces CO2 bubbles during fermentation.
Hydrolysis
- A reaction to break down polymers using water (H2O).
- Sucrose hydrolyzes faster than starch due to its simpler structure.
Reducing Sugars
- Reducing sugars include glucose, fructose, and lactose, identifiable by their reaction to specific tests.
Ketoses
- Fructose and sucrose are classified as ketoses based on test results.
Iodine Test Results
- Starch gives a blue-black color indicating its presence after hydrolysis.
Test Result Interpretations
- Fructose: Produces reddish-orange solid with Benedict's reagent, reacts quickly with Seliwanoff's reagent.
- Lactose: Shows color change with Benedict's reagent, slower with Seliwanoff's, produces no bubbles in fermentation.
- Amylose: No reaction with Benedict's or Seliwanoff's but turns blue-black with iodine.
Importance of Iodine Test in Hydrolysis
- Polysaccharides trap iodine, confirming the completion of starch hydrolysis.
