Benedicts Test for Reducing Sugars:
Tube Solution/food Color reaction to Benedicts solution Presence ofreducing sugar (green/reddish orange color)
1 1ml distilled water
2 good pinch glucose powder
3 good pinch table sugar (sucrose)
4 2 drops honey
5 finely chopped onion
6 finely chopped fruit
7 1ml milk

Which of the above solutions was included as your negative control?[1 pt]
Which of the above solutions was included as your positive control?[1 pt]
Which of the above foods/solutions tested positive for sugars? [4pts]
Explain why sucrose (table sugar) yielded the result above. [2pts]
What does this tell you about the way sugars are stored, forexample in onions? [2 pts]
Sugar is actually a common name for glucose. Glucose is stored asstarch in onions as it is a bulb present in plants.
Would you use the Benedicts test to investigate if a cake mix weresugar free? Explain your answer [2 pts]
The benedicts test cannot be used to determine if a cake mix issugar free or not. This is because benedicts test is used todetermine the presence of reducing sugars like maltose and lactose.Fructose also gives a positive test. We use sucrose in food so wecannot detect the presence or absence of sucrose in the cakemix
Iodine Test for Starch:
Depression Number Solution/food Color reaction to iodine solutionPresence of starch (bluish-black color)
1 ½ ml distilled water
2 pinch glucose powder
3 pinch cornstarch
