QUALITATIVE TESTS OF CARBOHYDRATES Final Lab Report Submitted by Brittany Fitzgerald 545301 Prepared for Nancy Cook Chemistry 3501 Monday November 26‚ 2012 RESULTS PART A: As a result of the Benedict’s test on various sugar solutions‚ it was found that galactose‚ mannose‚ arabinose‚ ribose‚ lactose‚ fructose‚ maltose‚ and cellobiose tested positively and therefore are considered reducing sugars. Glucose‚ starch‚ sucrose‚ and methyl-D-glucopyranoside on the other hand tested

Reducing sugar gives positive result in Benedict’s test as the colour of solution change from blue to brick-red and there is brick-red precipitate. Starch give positive result in Iodine test as the colour of solution change from yellow to dark blue. Glucose is the simplest carbohydrates that are monosaccharide or simple sugar. Starch consisting of a large number of glucose units joined together by glycosidic linkage and known as polysaccharide‚ that is polymers of sugar. Saliva that contains salivary

Austin Peay State University Department of Chemistry CHEM 1021 IDENTIFYING CARBOHYDRATES (adapted from Blackburn et al.‚ Laboratory Manual to Accompany World of Chemistry‚ 2nd ed.‚ (1996) Saunders College Publishing: Fort Worth) Purpose: To become familiar with some of the characteristic reaction of carbohydrates. To identify an unknown carbohydrate. Caution: Wear eye protection because of the possible shattering of dropped glassware and because acids are used in this experiment

Carbohydrates H2SO4 acts as dehydrating agent forming furfural derivatives which interact with alpha-naphthol librating a violet layered compound Test | Molisch test | Objective | A general test for all carbohydrates. Monosaccharides give a rapid positive test. Disaccharides and polysaccharides react slower. | Principle involved | Dehydration of the carbohydrate by concentrated sulfuric acid to produce an aldehyde | Reagent | H2SO4 | Positive results | a purple-black layer/violet ring

Although used by all cells‚ carbohydrates are specifically vital for the ordinary functioning of the valuable anxious system‚ brain and red blood cells. Fibre‚ an indigestible form of carbohydrate discovered in complete grain meals‚ fruits and veggies‚ allows keeping normal bowel motion that reduces risk of constipation‚ haemorrhoids‚ and diverticulosis and colon

January 1999 B io Factsheet Example glucose fructose galactose Number 39 Carbohydrates: Revision Summary Carbohydrates contain 3 elements: Carbon (C)‚ Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O). Thus‚ if we remove water from carbohydrates‚ all that remains is carbon. Carbohydrates can be divided into 3 categories; monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides (Table 1). Table 1. Structure of monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides Category Monosaccharide (made of 1 sugar molecule)

Intro: Carbohydrate‚ any of a large group of compounds in which hydrogen and oxygen‚ in the proportions in which they exist in water‚ are combined with carbon; the formula of most of these compounds may be expressed as Cn(H2O)n. Structurally‚ however‚ these compounds are not hydrates of carbon‚ as the formula would seem to indicate. Carbohydrates‚ as a class‚ are the most abundant organic compounds found in nature. They are produced by green plants and by bacteria using the process known as photosynthesis

Examination of Proteus Vulgaris by Carbohydrate Fermentation Tests Abstract: Some bacteria ferment certain carbohydrates‚ while producing acidic or gaseous products; this information can be utilized in order to identify bacteria (Morello and Granato‚ 2003). In order to test for carbohydrate fermentation‚ tubed broths‚ containing a Durham tube for trapping any gas formed when the broth is incubated‚ are utilized (Morello and Granato‚ 2003). After incubation‚ a color change indicates that

The structural features of carbohydrates account for the fact that a wide variety of polysaccharides exist is pentoses and hexoses. The examples of pentose are ribose‚ deoxyribose‚ ribulose and xylulose. The examples of hexose are glucose which is found in fruits‚ fructose which is found in milk and galactose which is found in honey. Both pentoses and hexoses are mostly found in monosaccharides. They are the most simplest sugar which cannot be futher hydrolysed into smaller units. They contain
