Carbohyetateis an organic biomolecule that has 2 chemical formula Cm (HzO) The carbohydrate consists of vee atoms, v2 carbon, hydrogen and exygen asthe main constituent, where the ratio between the hydrogen and the oxygen is 21. CCarbohyerates act asthe major energy source for ll ving ergaisms, and ‘hey are primariy of thre kind, namely mano, lige and polysaccharides Monosaccharides include simple crystaline sugars that are readily soluble in water, Oligosaccharides include low molecular weight sugars and exist 3 polymer of monosaccharides covaentytnked trough alyeoscie Linkages. Polysaccharides incluse high molecular weight sugars and exist ther as 2 polymer ofthe same monosaccharides (homopalysacchardes) or diferent ‘monomers (heterepolyssecharides), In this context we wil discuss the citferent chemical tests fr the qualitative analysis of carbohyerates.
