Benedict's solution, or Benedict's reagent, is a solution used for the analysis of reducing sugars. It may be qualitative or quantitave. The former is composed of copper sulphate, sodium carbonate and sodium citrate while the later additionally contains potassium ferrocyanide and potassium thiocyanate. The solution is so named after Stanley Rossiter Benedict, the scientist who created it.
