EXPERIMENT NO 2
Qualitative analysis of carbohydrates from unknown solution .
1 ) MOLISH TEST ( for carbohydrates)
PROCEDURE
Take 3 ml of a unknown solution in a test tube add 1-2 drops of molish reagent mix. Incline the test tube and run 3 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid along the wall of the test tube make the test tube upright and rotate it between two palms.
OBSERVATION
Appearence of reddish violet ring at the junction of the two liquids
RESULTS
Indicates the presence of carbohyrates .
2) IODINE TES ( for polysaccharides )
PROCEDURE
Take 3 ml of unknown solution in a tedt tube add 1 drop of iodine solution mix heat and then cool Starch gives blue colour dextrins give reddish purple colour and glycogen gives reddish brown colour .
OBSERVATION
No blue ,reddish purple or reddish brown colour are not appear
RESULT
Polysaccharides is absent means mono or disacchsrides are present .
3) BENEDICT'S TEST ( for reducing mono or disaccharides
PROCEDURE
Take 5 ml of benedict's reagent in a test tube .add 8 drops of the unknown solution mixand boil for 2 minutes
OBSERVATION
Apperance of green , yellow, or red precipitate .
RESULT
Indicates the carbohydrate for reducing one .

4) BARFOED'S TEST ( FOR MONOSACCHARIDES)
PROCEDURE
Take 3 ml of a Barfoed's reagent in a test tube and 1 ml of a unknown solution in a test tube boil for 30 seconds allow to cool .
OBSERVATION
A red precipitate at the bottom of the test tube
RESULT
