PREFACE
1.1 Background of Experimental
To determine existence of carbohydrate in the pure used molisch reagent. This reacton
based on forming of furfural or that derivats from carbohydrate which dehydration by sulfat
concentrated. In alkali condition, saccharide will form enidid which easy to oxidation. All of
monosaccharide and disaccharide except sucrose and fructose will react Precise directions for
the preparatpositive when its done benedict test. To determine any sugar which contain of
keton used seliwanoff test. And to indicate polysaccharide we use Iodine test. All of this test
is to know the kind of carbohydrate which is consist in the fruit, because in the same way to
the process of fruits ripe commonly carbohydrate in the fruit have change the composition
because of the enzyme activity.Ion of special reagents, complete lists of apparatus and
reagents, precautions in the conduct of experiments, discussions of biochemical principles
and techniques, and a summary of the results are given in the Appendix..

LITERATURE REVIEW
A. THE CARBOHYDRATES
4
Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecules belonging to class of organic
compounds found in living organisms on earth. Each year, more than 100 billion metric tons
of CO2and H2O are converted into cellulose and other plant products due to photosynthesis.
Living matter is largely made of biomolecules consisting of water and complex polymers of
amino acids, lipids, nucleotides and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are most special of themin
that they remain associated with the three other polymers mentioned. Carbohydrates are
linked with amino acid polymers (proteins) forming glycoproteins and with lipids as
glycolipids. Carbohydrates are present in DNA and RNA,which are essentially polymers of
D-ribose-phosphate and 2-deoxy-D-ribose phosphate to which purines and pyrimidines bases
are attached at the C-1 reducing position. Carbohydrates are a widely diverse group of
compounds that are ubiquitous in nature. More than 75% of the dry weight of the plant world
is carbohydrate in nature - particularly cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin.
5
This chapter is created in view of giving an idea about sugars (monosaccharides to
polysaccharides; their derivatives, their important reactions, structures, function and
biological importance. Efforts have made toexplain the chemistry and organization of
biomolecules in terms of stereioisomerism, optical isomerism,anomeric forms, mutarotations
etc. Information about polysaccharides in plants and living organisms, blood sugars and rare
sugars is also included.
Importance of carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are of great importance in biology. The unique reaction, which makes
life possible on the Earth, namely the assimilation of the green plants, produces sugar,
fromwhich originate, not only all carbohydrates but, directly or indirectly, all other
components of living organisms. The carbohydrates are a major source of metabolic energy,
both for plants and for animals that depend on plants for food. Aside fromthe sugars and
starch that meet this vital nutritional role, carbohydrates also serve as a structural material
(cellulose), a component of the energy transport compound ATP, recognition sites on cell
surfaces, and one of three essential components of DNA and RNA. Importance can be
considered under following headings;
Metabolic/Nutritional
Structural
6
The structural diversity possible by linking the different, common sugar is immense:
theoretically far greater than that of proteins, which largely consist of 22 amino acids linked
by a single type of peptide bond. Linkages between sugars can occur through a glycoside
linkage between the anomeric, first carbon of a sugar in either or configuration with any of
a variety of hydroxyl groups on the adjacent sugar. In fact, many possible combinations of
sugars do not seemto exist. Insoluble carbohydrate polymers serve as structuraland protective
elements in the cell walls of bacteria and plants and in the connective tissues of animals.
Plant cell walls are complex arrangements of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. This
contributes significantly to the overall digestibility of the fiber. The proportion of each
component depends on species and age of the plant. Cellulose is the primary structural
component of plants. It is found primarily in the cells walls and is a primary fiber component
of animal feeds.
Classification
Carbohydrates are called saccharides or, if they are relatively small, sugars.
Classifications of carbohydrates are outlined in the following table.
The important groups of carbohydrates that will be studied are the simple sugars
(monosaccharides), typified by glucose, the complex sugars (disaccharides), typified by cane
sugar and lactose, and the polysaccharides, typified by starch and cellu1ose. In each of
these divisions it is necessary to study also other compounds closely related to the types-
7
fructose, galactose, and arabinose, related to glucose, maltose, related to lactose, and
glycogen, the dextrins, and inulin, related to starch.
MONOSACCHARIDE
The simplest and smallest unit of the carbohydrates is the monosaccharide, (mono = one,
saccharide = sugar) fromwhich disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides are
constructed. Monosaccharides are either aldehydes or ketones, with one or more hydroxyl
groups; the six-carbon monosaccharides glucose (an aldohexose) and fructose (a keto hexose)
have five hydroxyl groups. (Fig. 3) The carbon atoms, to which hydroxyl groups are attached,
are often chiral centers, and stereoisomerismis common among monosaccharides
1.GLUCOSE
The tests for glucose depend upon both 'chemical properties and physical properties. On
account of its easy oxidisability, it brings about certain" reductions" and is hence a reducing
sugar. It reacts with phenyl-hydrazine to form a characteristic yellow crystalline " osazone,"
which can be identified under the micro-scope. It is decomposed by certain ferments in yeast
with production of ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide gas, so that the evolution of gas serves as
a test for it. It rotates the plane of polarisation of polarised light, and can therefore be tested
for in the polarimeter. It is readily soluble in water. The following tests should be carried out
with a per cent. solution of' glucose :
8
oxidised. This is usually attributed to the presence (or potential presence) of an aldehyde or
ketone radical in the carbohydrate molecule.
-Experiment 2.Reduction of Benedict's Solution This has the following composi-tion: 17'3
gm. copper sulpha~e, 173 gm. sodmmcitrate, 100 gm. anhydrous sodium carbonate,
dissolved in water, and water added to 1 litre. The substitution of citrate for tartrate gIves a
much more permanent solution. Experiment 4. Transfer 5 C.c. of Benedict's solution to a
test-tube and add exactly 8 drops (using a small piece of glass tubing or a pipette as a
dropper) of the glucose solution. Boil for two minutes. Allow to cool slowly. A precipitate
gradually forms throughout the solution, red, yellow or green, depending upon the
concentration of the glucose solu-tion used. In absence of a reducing substance the solution
remains clear.
2. FRUCTOSE
Carry out Experiments 1 to 8 with a 1 per cent. solution of fructose. Positive results will be
obtained in every test. Specific Tests for Fructose:
THE DlSACCHARIDES
3. SUCROSE
Experiment 1. Make up 100 c.c. of a 5 per cent. solution of sucrose. Measure the rotation.
Take 50 c.c. of this solu-tion (accurately measured) in a shallow porcelain dish, add 2 c.c. of
concentrated hydrochloric acid and heat on tile water-bath for forty-five minutes. Cool,
exactly neutralise with 10 per cent. sodium hydroxide, transfer to a 50 c.c. graduated flask,
with rinsings, and make up to the original 50 c.c. volume. Again measure the rotation.
Calculate from the results whether or not the change represents complete transformation of
the sucrose to glucose and fructose. Then. with the hydrolysed solution, carry out Benedict's,
9
Fehling's, Barfoed's and Seliwanoff's tests, and show that these are all positive. The student
himself should hydrolyse a little sucrose on the small scale with acid, cool, neutralise and
carry out the tests just enumerated.
4. LACTOSE
Experiment 1. Make up a 1 per cent. solution of lactose. Note the hard, gritty feel of the
crystals and their relative insolubility as compared with glucose and fructose. Repeat
Experimcnts 1 to 8 with this solution. Not that positive results are obtained with all these
tests except Bar-foed's and the fermentation test. Barfoed's test is not given by disaccharides.
A good baker's yeast (free from foreign strains) does not ferment lactose. Note the
microscopic appearance of the lactosazone and compare it with the photograph in Plate I.
Repeat the mucic acid test (Experiment 13). A positive result is obtained. Lactose is first
hydrolysed to glucose and galactose, and these are oxidised respectively to saccharic and
mucic acids. The saccharic acid remains in solution.
5. MALTOSE
Experiment 1. Repeat experiments 1 to 8 with a 1 per cent. solution of maltose. Note that all
the tests are posi-tive except Barfoed's. Note the microscopic appearance of the osazone and
compare it with the photograph in Plate I. Note. Glucosazone crystals commence to separate
from the hot solution, but ]aetosazone and maltosazonc crystals only commence to separate
when the solution is allowed to cool. 'fhis fact help;; to differentiate hctween them.
POLYSACCHARIDES
Polysaccharides are relatively complex carbohydrates. They are polymers made up of many
monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic bonds. They are, therefore, very large, often
branched, macromolecules. They tend to be amorphous, insoluble in water, and have no
sweet taste. When all the monosaccharides ina polysaccharide are of the sametype, the
polysaccharide is called a homopolysaccharide and when more than one type of
monosaccharide is present, they are called heteropolysaccharides. Examples include storage
polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen and structural polysaccharides such as cellulose,
and chitin. Xylan a hemicellulose is a heteropolysaccharide. Polysaccharides have a general
formula of Cn(H2O)n-1where n can be any number between 200 and 2500. Considering that
the repeating units in the polymer backbone are often six-carbon monosaccharides, the
general formula can also be represented as (C6H10O5)nwhere
n={40...3000}.

6.AMYLUM
Experiment 1. Scrape a raw potato, stir up the scrapings vigorously in a littlc water and strain
through cheese cloth into a small beaker. The starch granules rapidly settle. Decant off the
liquid, wash with cold water, and again decant off the liquid. Shake up the residue with
water, transfer a little to a slide and examine under the low power of the micro-o little rice
and wheat starch suspended in water and trans-ferred to slides. Note that each has a
characteristically different appearance.

Benedict reagent + drops of 1% glucose solution and then heat in to water bath in 5
minutes. The result is there are two layers of that solution and there is a maroon sediment.
Beside glucose, the solution that can changes and make sediment are fructose, lactose and
maltose solution. In alkali condition, saccharide will form enidid which easy to oxidation.
All of the monosaccharide and disaccharide (except sucrose,trekalosa and polysaccharide
such as amylum and cellulose) will react positive when its done benedict test. Copper
solutions alkali when reducted by carbohydrate which have free aldehid or keton will
form Cupro Oxide (Cu20) which have green color,red orange, maroon and any maroon
sediment in the bottom of reaction tube. Amylum, cellulose and sucrose didnt have
sediment in the end of reaction because they are negative reaction with benedict reagent.
2ml amylum 1%+2 drops of water+5 drops of Iodine the heated. In other tube we
change the water to be HCl or NaOH. Than the changes of color after heated is blacklish
blue and clear. This reaction also happened in cellulose. This is happened because the
amylum-iodide complex is formed as charge-recall electrons are charged particles-is
transferred between amylum and iodide ions-tri-iodide or pentaiodide.
The transfer of charge between the amylum and the iodide ion changes the spacing
between the energy level/orbitals. This change results in the amylum-iodide complex
absorbing light at a different wavelength-than any other species aforementioned-resulting
in an intense purple color; biologist call this color blue-back. So , the reaction is positive
between amylum and iodine, and also the cellulose, it marked by the change of color to be
blackish blue.
This test consist of molisch test, benedict, seliwanoff and iodine. But the solution is
fruits. The fruits that we choose is avocado in vary conditions, they are ripe, unripe and
well ripe. In molish test the third condition fruit have the same method and the result
there is purple ring,which have the level concentration in color. In our test the high
concentration in color is well ripe. Actually the color shows about polysaccharide that
should be in the unripe avocado. This result can be different with the teory because of
false in added, or maybe the time is too quickly so the reaction not finished. Because in
this test to know the kind of carbohydrate which consist in the fruits, in the same way to
the process of fruits ripe commonly carbohydrate in the fruit have change the composition
because of the enzyme activity. In the wellripe fruit and sweet will find much glucose and
fructose, in the unripe fruit will find carbohydrate in the shape of amylum which possible
finally of other carbohydrate. And when the test of iodine, the color that should be
indicated after reaction is blackish-purple but the result of the test is still green color. The
reason maybe the solutions of iodine that less and the reaction not finished perfectly.
4.3 Discussion
2. Is the same the intensity of the red purple ring in test you use in the experiment?
Explain!
Anwer:
Rather the same,and change the color become clouded and there are dark brown
suspended. It happens not only on amylum but also lactose,cellulose,
maltose,fructose,sucrose, and glucose solutions. It is because to determine existence
of carbohydrate in the pure used Molisch Test
2. In benedict test, why is the sucrose not including in to the sugar reduction?
Answer :
. because sucrose didnt have sediment in the end of reaction because they are
negative reaction with benedict reagent
So beside fructose and sucrose, other solutions are have ketose, but the composition is
less than both of them so the color become yellowish and get long time to reaction.
31
.This is happened because the amylum-iodide complex is formed as charge-recall
electrons are charged particles-is transferred between amylum and iodide ions-tri-
iodide or pentaiodide
2. Which substance beside amylum that give the color to the iodine?
Answer :
There is Cellulose solution
CHAPTER V
ENCLOSURE
5.1 Summary
32
1. We can identify carbohydrate (Monosaccharide,Disaccharide,Polysaccharide) in the
experimental.
2. Indicate any substance which reduction in alkali condition.
3. Differentiate sacaride which can reduct and cant reduct.
4. Indicate any ketose.
5. Indicate any polysaccharide (especially amylum).
6. Indicate any carbohydrate in material which doesnt know in general such as in fruits.
5.2 Suggestion
After we know how to indicated the unknown fruit or maybe unknown solution with
the several test,it can be help us when we feel hesitant to eat or to taste something. We can
use this method to enactive and keep our body from the snakes or drinks that can be destroy
our digestion.
