Benedict's Test Benedict’s test is a chemical test that can be used to check for the presence of reducing sugars in a given analyte. Therefore, simple carbohydrates containing a free ketone or aldehyde functional group can be identified with this test. Benedict’s reagent (also known as Benedict’s solution), is a complex mixture of sodium citrate, sodium carbonate, and the pentahydrate of copper(II) sulfate. When exposed to reducing sugars, the reactions undergone by Benedict’s reagent result in the formation of a brick-red precipitate, which indicates a positive Benedict’s test. An image detailing the changes in the color of Benedict’s reagent (from clear blue to brick-red) that are triggered by exposure to reducing sugars is provided below. Principle of Benedict’s Test When a reducing sugar is subjected to heat in the presence of an alkali, it gets converted into an enediol (which is a relatively powerful reducing agent). Therefore, when reducing sugars are present in the analyte, the cupric ions (Cu2+) in Benedict’s reagent are reduced to cuprous ions (Cu+). These cuprous ions form copper(I) oxide with the reaction mixture and precipitate out as a brick-red-colored compound. Benedict’s Test Procedure 1. Take 2 ml of the test sample must be mixed with 2 ml of Benedict’s reagent 2. Heat the content of the test tube in a bath of boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. 3. The development of a brick-red colored precipitate of cuprous oxide confirms the presence of reducing sugars in the test sample.
