Benedict’s when exposed to reducing sugars, the reactions undergone by Benedict’s reagent result in the formation of a brick-red precipitate, which indicates a positive Benedict’s test.
Benedict's Quantitative Solution is a test reagent used for detecting and quantitatively determining the amount of reducing sugars present in a substance.
Benedict's Quantitative Solution contains copper(II) sulfate, sodium citrate, sodium carbonate, potassium thiocyanate, and potassium ferrocyanide. Each plays a role in the determination of reducing sugars:Copper(II) sulfate provides the copper(II) ions that are reduced by the reducing sugar.
