Barfoed's Test
Shows positive test for:
Reducing monosaccharides
Reactions:
Reducing monosaccharides are oxidized by the copper ion in solution to form a carboxylic acid and a reddish precipitate of copper (I) oxide within three minutes. Reducing disaccharides undergo the same reaction, but do so at a slower rate.
How to perform the test:
One ml of a
