- Expt.1
- Qualitative Tests for Carbohydrates and Amino
Acids
21a Carbohydrates Characterization
- Molischs Test carbohydrate
- Barfoeds Test Monosaccharides and
Oligosaccharides - Seliwanoff Test Differentiation of Ketose from
Aldose - Iodine Test Cellulose, Starch, Dextrin
3Experiment 1 Qualitative Tests for Carbohydrates
I. Principle
1. Molischs Test - test for carbohydrates
a-naphthol
conc.H2SO4
Pentose/ Hexose
Furfural
5-hydroxymethyl furfural (Purple complex)
- H2O
2. Barfoeds Test - test for reducing sugars
- test for distinguishing monosaccharides and
disaccharides
Slightly acidic
Reducing sugar 2Cu2
2Cu oxidized sugar
Cu2O (brick red ppt)
3. Seliwanoff Test - test for distinguishing
ketose from aldose
resorcinol
conc. HCl
5-hydromethyl furfural
Ketohexose
red complex
dehydration
4. Iodine Test - test for starch
Starch I2
starch - I2 complex (deep blue)
4Barfoed's Test
RCHO 2Cu2 2H2O -----gt RCOOH Cu2O
4H Barfoed's reagent reacts with
monosaccharides to produce cuprous oxide at a
faster rate than disaccharides do
5Monosaccharide Disaccharides
- Monosaccharide
- Glucose
- Fructose
- Disaccharides
- Maltose
- Lactose
- Sucrose
6Ketone Adehyde
7Polysaccharide
- Starch
- Glycogen
- Cellulose
8Molischs Test
- Test for carbohydrate materials
- Using 2 ml of test solution in a test tube, add
50 ?l of the ? 1-naphthol, mix and then allow 1
ml of conc. Sulphuric acid to flow down the side
of the inclined tube to layer under the mixture.
Note the colour at the junction.
9Barfoeds Test
- Test for Monosaccharides and Oligosaccharides
- Using 0.5 ml of test solution, mix with 2.5 ml of
Barfoeds solution in a test tube and boil for 15
minutes. Note the time of first sign of
precipitate appears. After 15 minutes, cool it
down and observe the amount of precipitate in
each tube.
10Seliwanoff Test
- Test for Differentiation of Ketose from Aldose
- Add 0.5 ml of the test solution to 2.5 ml of the
Seliwanoffs reagent. Place the tubes in boiling
water and note the results and continue heating,
observe the colour change at 1 minute interval
for 5 minutes.
11Iodine Test
- Test for Cellulose, Starch, Dextrin
- Add 50 ?l of aqueous iodine solution to 4 ml test
solution. Record the colours observed. Then heat
the tubes 5 mins, record the effect on the
colours, cool the tube again and note the effect
on the colours.
121b. General Properties of amino acids
- The Ninhydrin Reaction oxidising agent
- (It reacts with ?-amino acids to produce a
purple coloured compound to measure the amount of
?-amino acid in a sample.)
13The Ninhydrin Reaction
- Mix 1 ml of test solution and 50 ?l of ninhydrin
reagent in a test tube. Boil for 5 minutes and
observe the colour change. (Tyrosine, Tryptophan
Proline) - serial dilution of glycine
