their free aldehyde groups, thus, testing positive for the Benedict's test.
Such sugars act as a reducing agent, and is called a reducing sugar. By mixing
the sugar solution with the Benedict's solution and adding heat, an oxidation-

the Benedict's reagent will reduce, loosing an oxygen. If the resulting solution
is red orange, it tests positive, a change to green indi ....
