• Brick red precipitate appears ~10 mins for disaccharides

• Brick Red Precipitate for all reducing monosaccharides that appears < 3 mins for monosaccharides

• Pentoses are dehydrated into furfural which in turn condense with orcinol

• Differentiate between aldose and ketose

• Cu(C2H3OO)2, acetic acid

• Cherry-red solution for ketohexoses

• Based on the reduction of cupric acetate by reducing monosaccharides and reducing disaccharides

• Blue-green solution for aldopentoses

• CuSO4, Na2CO3, Sodium Citrate

• For Reducing Sugars; more sensitive than fehling's

• Strong acid to dehydrate monosaccharide to produce furfural or hydroxymethylfurfural

• Brick Red precipitate for all reducing sugars

• Cupric ions reduced to cuprous, forming Cu2O precipitate.

• HCl, resorcinol

• HCl, FeCl3, and orcinol

Identify what word/phrase makes the statement FALSE?

In Fehling's test, Fehling's A contains cuprous sulfate, which is blue. Fehling's B is a clear liquid consisting of potassium sodium tartrate, and a strong alkali. Both of these tests produce a Reddish Brown Precipitate if aldehydes and alpha-hydroxy-ketones are present.

• Cuprous sulfate

• Potassium sodium tartrate

• Reddish Brown Precipitate

• Present

• para-anisaldehyde is used as a visualizing agent and produces green colored spots based on the complex with sugar.

• Maltose is more polar than dextrin but less polar than glucose.

• Solvent systems used in TLC are Acetonitrile and Water (80:20) and Chloroform-Methanol-Water-Acetic Acid (30:20:5:5)
