Benedict's Reagent is used to detect reducing sugars. What the reagent does is to oxidize aldehydes or alpha hydroxyl ketones. When this happens the color of the reagent turns from blue to colorless by the reduction of copper(II) to Copper(I) that is colorless.
All monosaccharides and some disaccharides such as lactose and maltose are called reducing sugars. When Benedictâs test is positive, an orange-red precipitate forms when the Benedictâs reagent is added to a solution contain reducing sugar. The iodine test is a chemical test for starch. When iodine solution which is red is added to starch it turns blue/black in colour. If according to your question,... Benedictâs test is used to detect the presence of reducing sugars.
