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.
The Benedictâs Non-Reducing Sugar Test will test positive for disaccharides that cannot donate electrons to the Benedictâs solution. An example of this non-reducing sugar is sucrose. The procedure involves adding an equal amount of 5% Citric Acid to the to the test solution in a test tube.
