COLORIMETRY
- 1. Benedict's test reveals
the presence of reducing
sugars. It results in an
orange-brown precipitate
- 2. The more reducing sugar present, the
more precipitate will be formed and more
Benedict's solution will be used up.
- 3. If the precipitate is
filtered out, the
concentration of the
remaining solution can be
measured.
- 4.This will tell you how much
Benedict's has been used up, and
this can be used to estimate the
concentration of reducing sugar in
the original sample.
