Bial’s reagent

Test for pentoses.components include orcinol,HCl,ferric chloride.Pentoses react to form furfural ,which gives colored substance.pentoses gives blue/green

Positive for pentose sugar -xylose

Benedict’s

-Free aldehyde or keto group in reducing sugars reduce cupric hydroxide in alkaline medium to red colored cuprous oxide.All monosaccarides are reducing .

Seilwanoff

Color reaction specific for ketoses.

Ketoses+conc HCl undergoes dehydration to yield 5-hydroxymethylfurfural derivatives that form deep red color complex with resorcinol. Faster rxn than aldoses

Molisch

All pentose sugar and hexoses are dehydrated by conc. Sulphuric acid to form furfural or hydroxymethylfurfural, respectively. These products condense with α-naphthol to form purple colored condensation product.
