Testing for Simple Sugars (Benedict's Test)
Aim
I want to find out how to test for simple sugars.
Simple sugars are carbohydrates that are quickly absorbed by the body to produce energy. They are also classified as “simple” because they contain only one or two units of sugar or saccharides. Also referred to as simple carbohydrates, these sugars are found naturally in a variety of foods that we consume daily.
Equipment
- Safety glasses
- Bunsen burner
- Test tubes
- Test tube tongs
- Benedict's Solution
- Food sample
Method
- Place about 2mL of the food sample into a test tube and then add 5 drops of Benedict's solution and 5ml of water
- Gently heat the test tube over a blue flame. DO NOT BOIL!
Results
A positive test for simple sugar results in Benedict's Solution changing from a blue color to a yellow color to an orange/red color.
Conclusion
Our experiment was a success the color changed, and it didn't boil either but that was a good thing. It started with a nice light blue color then changed to a rainbowish color at the bottom after it went to green than orange/red. Simple sugars are carbohydrates that are quickly absorbed by the body to produce energy. They are also classified as “simple” because they contain only one or two units of sugar. Also referred to as simple carbohydrates, these sugars are found naturally in a variety of foods that we consume daily.
. we put glucose powder (dextrose) in first then we put Benedict's solution with a bit of water.
You two make a great team! Your post has good information and photos, but focus on the layout next time. Your bullet points don't need to be so spread out and your photos could be in a better order. If you get these things right next time then you'll have an awesome blog post :)
