3 of 15
What reaction forms a disaccharide?
Condensation reaction
4 of 15
What bond is formed during a condensation reaction?

Some disaccharides are non-reducing sugars, how is this test carried out?
- After having found a negative result in a reducing sugars test, another 2cm3 food sample is added to a test tube - Add dilute HCl - Add to gently boiling water bath for 5 mins - Slowly add sodium hydrogencarbonate to the test tube until the HCl -->

is neutralised (test with pH paper) - Add benedict's reagent to the test tube - gently boil in water bath for 5 mins
8 of 15
What is a positive result of the non-reducing sugars test?
The solution turns orange-brown
9 of 15
Why is HCl added to the test tube?
To hydrolyse any disaccharides into monosaccharides
10 of 15
Why is sodium hydrogencarbonate added?
Benedict's reagent doesn't work in acidic conditions- this neutralises the solution
11 of 15
What type of saccharide is starch?
Polysaccharide
12 of 15
What is the test for starch?
Detecting a colour change in the presence of iodide solution
13 of 15
How is the test for starch carried out?
- Add 2cm3 of the sample to the test tube - Add a few drops of potassium iodide - Shake or stir
14 of 15
What is a positive result for the starch test?
Blue-black colour change
