Benedict's reagent (also called Benedict's solution or Benedict's test) is a reagent used as a test for the presence of monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose); it is also used for some disaccharides like maltose, or more generally for the presence of aldehydes, in a solution.

Benedict's reagent can be used to test for the presence of glucose in urine. Glucose found to be present in urine is an indication of diabetes. 5.0ml of Benedict's qualitative solution is mixed with 0.5ml of urine and the mixture is put in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. The results are recorded thus:

no precipitate —
Green a trace
yellow +
orange ++
red +++

The biuret reagent is a chemical test for proteins not because the reagent contains biuret but because both biuret and proteins have the same response to copper.

The Iodine test is used to identify glycogen and starch. These polysaccharides combine with iodine to form a blue-black color.
