Benedict's test is a test used to determine the presence of reducing sugars. Sucrose is not a reducing sugar that's why its color doesn't change. . .

What chemical is used to test for sugars?

Depends on the Sugar: Reducing sugars a normally monosaccharides but there are some disaccharides too like maltose. If its a reducing sugar then you would add Benedicts Reagent (alkaline copper(II) sulphate). You then heat it. if a reducing sugar is present then a precipitate is formed that will be red/orange. A Non-reducing sugar like Sucrose can be tested by first adding benedicts and heating. if no change is present you then add hydrochloric acid to hydrolyse the glycosidic bond. you then add a hydrogen carbonate solution to neutralise the acid. Then repeating the Benedicts and Heating process.


How does Benedicts test indicate hydrolysis of sucrose and starch?

Benedict 's solution contains Copper , which can accept electrons from reducing sugars and consequently change color. A positive Benedict's sugar test will produce an orange to brick-red color. Reducing sugars have either a free aldehyde functional group or a free ketone functional group as part of their molecular structure; starches and other polysaccharides lack these functional groups . If Benedict's test changes color ( pos. reaction ) polysaccharides must be hydrolyzed.

Why does a cooked rice with Benedict's solution change its color when it is heated?

Benedict Solution is use to check the presence of Saccharides in food by changing the specimen's color like cooked rice when it puts a few drops of Benedict solution it change its color as yellow green. It means there is a presence of sugar in rice. About the Saliva thing, (Benedict Solution+Saliva+Cooked Rice) Saliva breaks the sugar into fragments so it helps the Benedict Solution to find the presence of sugar in rice, So it makes more yellow green than without Saliva one
