    Don't Trust Me

    This document discusses carbohydrates and provides answers to questions about carbohydrate tests. It draws the structure of glucosazone produced in an experiment. It explains that Benedict's and Barfoed's tests both test for reducing sugars, but Barfoed's only detects monosaccharides, and Benedict's takes longer. Seliwanoff's test cannot differentiate sucrose from fructose. Bial's test detects 5-carbon cyclic sugars. Sucrose and starch both hydrolyze - sucrose into glucose and fructose, and starch into glucose. Starch forms a complex with iodine that makes iodine less absorbable, explaining its role as an antidote for iodine poisoning.

    ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

    1. Draw the structures of the osazone produced in the experiment.

    Glucosazone

    2. Arrange the following sugars according to their reactivity with Benedict’s Reagent. Explain your answer.
     Sucrose<starch<glucose=fructose<maltose. The arrangement is according to the presence of
    hemiacetals in their structures, i.e. ketones and aldehydes which directly affect the reducing power
    of the sugar[1].
    3. What are the differences between Benedict’s and Barfoed’s test?
     Both Benedict’s and Barfoed’s test tests for reducing sugars, however Barfoed’s reagent only gets a
    positive result from monosaccharides. Benedict’s test takes 15 minutes, while Barfoed’s test only
    takes 10 minutes[1][2].
    4. Can the Seliwanoff’s test be used to differentiate sucrose from fructose? If yes how?
     Seliwanoff’s test cannot be used differentiate sucrose from fructose because sucrose contains both
    ketone and aldehyde groups which would cause it to react quickly with the reagent; fructose, which
    is a ketose, will react quickly. Because both would react quickly one cannot use the test to
    differentiate the two[3].
    5. Give a possible application of Bial’s test.
     The Bial’s test tests for the presence of 5 chained cyclic sugars, therefore in industries that use
    furanoses, such as the food industry with fructose, the Bial’s test can be used to test if a compound is
    a good source of furanoses.
    6. Draw the hydrolysis products of sucrose and starch
    Sucrose products:
    Glucose Fructose

    Starch products:
    Glucose

    7. Give a chemical explanation for the role of starch as an antidote for iodine poisoning.
     Iodine and starch form a blue-black complex, the way that Iodine and starch react is that iodine can
    fit into the helix configuration of the starch, which it does. The formation of the complex then makes
    the iodine less susceptible to getting absorbed by the body.
