2.1.2 THE BENEDICT'S TEST



The Benedict's Test for Reducing Sugars

Benedict’s solution can be used to carry out a semi-quantitative test on a reducing sugar

solution to determine the concentration of reducing sugar present in the sample

It is important that an excess of Benedict’s solution is used so that there is more than

enough copper (II) sulfate present to react with any sugar present

The intensity of any colour change seen relates to the concentration of reducing sugar

present in the sample

A positive test is indicated along a spectrum of colour from green (low concentration)

to brick-red (high concentration of reducing sugar present)

A semi-quantitative test can be carried out by setting up standard solutions with known

concentrations of a reducing sugar (such as glucose)

These solutions should be set up using a serial dilution of an existing stock solution

Each solution is then treated in the same way: add the same volume of Benedict’s solution to

each sample and heat in a water bath that has been boiled (ideally at the same temperature

each time) for a set time (5 minutes or so) to allow colour changes to occur

It is important to ensure that an excess of Benedict’s solution is used

Any colour change observed for each solution of a known concentration in that time can be

attributed to the concentration of reducing sugar present in that solution

The same procedure is carried out on a sample with an unknown concentration of reducing

sugar which is then compared to the stock solution colours to estimate the concentration of

reducing sugar present

Alterations

It is also possible to standardise this test but instead of waiting a fixed amount of time for a

range of colours to be observed, time how long it takes for the first colour change to occur

(blue to green)

The higher the concentration of reducing sugar in a sample, the less time it would

take for a colour change to be observed

To avoid issues with human interpretation of colour, a colourimeter could be used to measure

the absorbance or transmission of light through the sugar solutions of known concentration

to establish a range of values that an unknown sample can be compared against a calibration

curve
