Benedict's solution gradually turns from blue to cloudy orange or brick red when heated with a reducing sugar. Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar and does not react with Benedict's solution.

Leave at room temperature for five minutes. Test for starch (using iodine) and glucose (using Benedict’s reagent) inside and outside both tubes. Independent variable: the presence or absence of ...
