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.
