  2. Benedict's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict's_reagent

    Benedict's reagent (often called Benedict's qualitative solution or Benedict's solution) is a chemical reagent and complex mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. [1] It is often used in place of Fehling's solution to detect the presence of reducing sugars and other reducing substances. [2]

  3. Reducing sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reducing_sugar

    Reducing form of glucose (the aldehyde group is on the far right). A reducing sugar is any sugar that is capable of acting as a reducing agent. [1] In an alkaline solution, a reducing sugar forms some aldehyde or ketone, which allows it to act as a reducing agent, for example in Benedict's reagent.

  4. Aldonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldonic_acid

    Aldonic acids are the products of the oxidation of aldoses by Benedict's or Fehling's reagents. [7] Copper ions react with an aldose to form a red precipitate, Cu 2 O. The reaction scheme of an aldose being oxidized by the copper ions in a Benedict's reagent solution. The R group provided is an example of a sugar backbone.

  5. List of reagents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reagents

    Reagents are "substances or compounds that are added to a system in order to bring about a chemical reaction or are added to see if a reaction occurs." [1] Some reagents are just a single element. However, most processes require reagents made of chemical compounds. Some of the most common ones used widely for specific reactive functions are ...

  6. Reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagent

    In chemistry, a reagent (/ r i ˈ eɪ dʒ ən t / ree-AY-jənt) or analytical reagent is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or test if one occurs. [1] The terms reactant and reagent are often used interchangeably, but reactant specifies a substance consumed in the course of a chemical reaction. [ 1 ]

  7. 3,5-Dinitrosalicylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3,5-Dinitrosalicylic_acid

    3,5-Dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS or DNSA, IUPAC name 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid) is an aromatic compound that reacts with reducing sugars and other reducing molecules to form 3-amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid, which strongly absorbs light at 540 nm.

  9. Seliwanoff's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seliwanoff's_test

    Seliwanoff’s test is a chemical test which distinguishes between aldose and ketose sugars. If the sugar contains a ketone group, it is a ketose. If a sugar contains an aldehyde group, it is an aldose. This test relies on the principle that, when heated, ketoses are more rapidly dehydrated than aldoses.
