- 0:12Howdy, guys! I'm happy to greet you.
- 0:16Today I bring you a new video to
- 0:18continue talking about carbohydrates.
- 0:22Specifically, today we're going to talk
- 0:24about qualitative identification tests.
- 0:27Well, I remind you that here on my Gabo
- 0:29Rosado channel, you'll be able to find
- 0:31several videos about carbohydrates.
- 0:34Specifically, I've already uploaded
- 0:35eight and the one you're watching right
- 0:37now is number nine. Let's say we're
- 0:39closing a series of videos about
- 0:41carbohydrates. We might be able to
- 0:44upload some extras in the future, but
- 0:45these nine would already cover the
- 0:47topic of carbohydrates to a good level,
- 0:49for me. Okay? In order to understand
- 0:54number nine, you should have watched
- 0:56the previous ones, since this one in
- 0:58particular will use previous concepts,
- 1:00such as reducing sugars, which are
- 1:01ketoses, which are aldoses, and the
- 1:03classification of carbohydrates. Okay.
- 1:08Well, now let's start with the
- 1:10qualitative tests for identifying
- 1:12carbohydrates. It says here, "The
- 1:16objective of these tests is to observe
- 1:18the behavior of a series of
- 1:19carbohydrates by subjecting them to
- 1:21various qualitative analyses and, based
- 1:23on these observations, identify the
- 1:25carbohydrate or carbohydrates present
- 1:27in an unknown solution. There are
- 1:30different types of chemical reactions
- 1:32that allow us to qualitatively
- 1:34determine the presence of carbohydrates
- 1:36, whether they are monosaccharides,
- 1:37oligosaccharides or polysaccharides.
- 1:40And these reactions are based, for
- 1:42example, on the reduction of copper or
- 1:44on the coloration that the sugars take
- 1:46on after reacting with a reagent. In
- 1:48other words, all the tests that we are
- 1:50going to see right now are qualitative,
- 1:52that is, they will not tell us how much
- 1:54carbohydrate there is, because those
- 1:55would be quantitative, but rather they
- 1:57will tell us what type of carbohydrate
- 1:59there is in a sample. Okay, and all of
- 2:01them are based on chemical reactions,
- 2:03such as, for example, the reduction of
- 2:06copper is mentioned here, that is, we
- 2:08are going to work with
- 2:09oxidation-reduction reactions or also
- 2:11with colorations, okay? Here it says
- 2:13colorations that will help us identify
- 2:15which carbohydrate is present in a
- 2:17certain sample. Well, let's start with
- 2:21the First, the Molish test, and this
- 2:23subjective test has the objective of
- 2:25identifying carbohydrates in general.
- 2:29In other words, this test tells you
- 2:30whether or not what you have in your
- 2:32sample is a carbohydrate. Well, let's
- 2:35see how this test works. This test is
- 2:38based on the hydrolyzing and
- 2:40dehydrating action of concentrated
- 2:42sulfuric acid on carbohydrates. In
- 2:45other words, if I have a carbohydrate
- 2:47and I add sulfuric acid to it, it will
- 2:49hydrolyze and dehydrate it. I think the
- 2:52word dehydrate is very easy, it means
- 2:54removing water, but the word hydrolyze,
- 2:57okay? It has another meaning, which is
- 2:59basically breaking the structure, and
- 3:01it will break it, okay? Through, in
- 3:04this case, water, okay? A water
- 3:08molecule will break the structure and
- 3:09in the end that water molecule will
- 3:11dehydrate. Okay, so in fact, if you
- 3:14look here at the chemical reaction, we
- 3:16are removing water. Well, so in this
- 3:20test, the acid What it will do is
- 3:21hydrolyze any glycosidic bonds present
- 3:24in the sample and dehydrate the
- 3:25resulting monosaccharides to form
- 3:27furfurals. So, we already said that
- 3:31what sulfuric acid will do is break
- 3:33down the monosaccharide or disaccharide
- 3:35or whatever the carbide is, it will
- 3:37break it down and ultimately dehydrate
- 3:39it. The furfurals will come out, which
- 3:43is what will remain after we have done
- 3:45that dehydration. The furfurals will
- 3:50react with the alpha-naphthol of the
- 3:51Molish reagent and will give rise to a
- 3:53violet-colored product or a ring, okay?
- 3:57Violet. In this case, guys, if I break
- 4:00the structure, in this case, look, an
- 4:03exose, an exose, remember that it is a
- 4:05carbohydrate or a six-carbon
- 4:06monosaccharide, when the exose breaks
- 4:09down and dehydrates, what it will form
- 4:11is a furfural. In this case, the
- 4:13furfural that will form is a
- 4:15hydroxymethyl Furfural. It comes out as
- 4:17if it were a pentose. When pentoses
- 4:20break down and dehydrate, what they
- 4:22form are furfurals. That one is pure.
- 4:25That is a hydroxymethyl furfural and
- 4:27that is a furfural. It is an exam
- 4:29question. For example, the molish test,
- 4:31an exose, what does it turn into? A
- 4:34hydromethyl furfural. A pentose, what
- 4:37does it turn into? A furfural. Now,
- 4:40these two have furfural characteristics
- 4:42, okay? And what they are going to do
- 4:44is react with the two alpha naphthol.
- 4:48which is this one over here, which is
- 4:50present in the molish reagent and it is
- 4:52going to form a colored complex, that
- 4:53is, the sample is going to be colored
- 4:55if we are talking about an exose or a
- 4:57pentose or in particular a carbohydrate
- 4:59, okay? Whichever way this reaction
- 5:03takes, it is going to be colored. If it
- 5:05is not colored, in this case purple, we
- 5:07are talking about it not being a
- 5:09carbohydrate. It is that simple. That
- 5:11is to identify carbohydrates. In
- 5:12general. Now, let's imagine that you
- 5:14already know that you have a
- 5:16carbohydrate, but you don't know what
- 5:17type of carbohydrate it is. Well, this
- 5:19is what a vial test is for. What the
- 5:22vial test does or its objective is to
- 5:24identify pentoses. It produces a
- 5:27specific colored reaction for pentoses,
- 5:29this one in particular. Under carefully
- 5:32controlled conditions of temperature,
- 5:34time, and hydrochloric acid
- 5:36concentration, the pentoses are rapidly
- 5:38converted to furfural, which is the
- 5:40same reagent. Okay? Well, it does not
- 5:44react with the same intermediate that
- 5:46we obtained here, the furfurals, okay?
- 5:48Those are the structures that are
- 5:50ultimately going to be colored. In this
- 5:52case, here we use sulfuric acid and
- 5:54here we use hydrochloric acid. The
- 5:57hydrochloric acid is going to have
- 5:59practically the same structure or the
- 6:01same function that it did in the
- 6:02previous step, okay? It's going to
- 6:04break down the carbohydrate. That's
- 6:06what the hydrochloric acid is going to
- 6:08do and it's going to become, I repeat,
- 6:10a furfural. Now, How is this different
- 6:12from the presence of ferric
- 6:14nicotinamide and orsinol, which is what
- 6:16makes the vial test characteristic,
- 6:18okay? In the presence of ferric
- 6:21nicotinamide, sorry, and orsinol,
- 6:23furfural condenses rapidly to produce a
- 6:25green complex upon heating. Therefore,
- 6:30unlike this one, two alpha naphthol was
- 6:32used here, which is what gives the
- 6:34characteristic to the Molish reagent,
- 6:36okay? But in this, which is the vial
- 6:39test, what gives it the characteristic
- 6:41is the ferric nicotinamide and orsinol
- 6:43that are present in the vial reagent.
- 6:46That is what will make it turn green
- 6:47instead of violet. And if your
- 6:49carbohydrate changes green, what you
- 6:51will have is a pentose. Which pentose?
- 6:54It is not known, but you can already
- 6:55know that it is a pentose and you can
- 6:57rule out that it is an exose, a triose,
- 6:59a tetrose. Okay, for now, this is used
- 7:02to identify pentoses. What color will
- 7:04it change to? to green, like this one
- 7:06here or that one over here. Well, there
- 7:09is another test called the Celof test.
- 7:11In the Celof test, the objective is to
- 7:14identify ketoses. Well, in this case,
- 7:16the colored reaction that allows us to
- 7:19identify, I repeat here, ketoses in
- 7:21concentrated hydrochloric acid solution
- 7:23. Let's say that it's going to be the
- 7:26same, the same way to start. The
- 7:28hydrochloric acid is going to break
- 7:30down, in this case, it's going to
- 7:32dehydrate, it's going to hydrolyze the
- 7:34carbohydrates. Well, in concentrated
- 7:36hydrochloric acid solution, the ketoses
- 7:38are dehydrated more quickly than the
- 7:40aldoses. They produce furfural
- 7:43derivatives. Again, we obtain furfural
- 7:45that is going to be colored. These
- 7:48compounds form complexes with the
- 7:50resorcinol present in the Celanof
- 7:52reagent. Celanof, unlike the Vial test
- 7:58or the Vial reagent, is that Bial has
- 8:00Ferric John and Orsinol that color the
- 8:03furfural green. On the other hand, in
- 8:08Celanof, Furfural, okay? That's the
- 8:10structure that's over here, whether you
- 8:12have it in hydroxymethyl furfural or in
- 8:14furfural, okay? It's going to color it
- 8:19in this case cherry red, because
- 8:21there's resorcinol in celanof, okay? So
- 8:26, we've basically already seen that
- 8:28furfural is going to be colored in
- 8:30different colors, either violet, okay?
- 8:34Because of the 2 alpha naphthol, here
- 8:36it's violet because of the 2 alpha
- 8:38naphthol, green because of the ferric
- 8:40ion and orcinol, and cherry red because
- 8:42of the resorcinol. It works. So, all of
- 8:45those have to do with furfural and they
- 8:47all have to do with an acidic medium.
- 8:50Remember that the first one was with
- 8:51sulfuric acid and the other two were
- 8:53with hydrochloric acid. Now, let's go
- 8:55to the Tollens test. The Tollens test
- 8:58is used to identify aldoses. Just as
- 9:01the previous one, which was elovf, was
- 9:03used to identify ketoses. This one is
- 9:06used to identify Aldoses. Well, the
- 9:09basis of this test is the chemical
- 9:11reaction between Tolens 'reagent,
- 9:13ammoniacal silver nitrate solution.
- 9:15That's Tolens' reagent. Well, in fact,
- 9:18here it is. It's a solution of silver
- 9:20and ammonia. Well, and an aldehyde. So,
- 9:23I'm going to start over so we don't
- 9:25confuse anyone. The basis of this test
- 9:27is the chemical reaction between Tolens
- 9:29'reagent, which we already said what it
- 9:30is, and an aldehyde. Remember that
- 9:32aldehydes in carbohydrates are in the
- 9:34form of aldoses, which exposes a silver
- 9:36mirror on the walls of the container.
- 9:39Here again we resort to color. If you
- 9:43notice, that's a reaction for any
- 9:44aldehyde. Aldeide. Aldege plus Tollens'
- 9:48reagent will produce a or a silver
- 9:50mirror formation, okay? And it will
- 9:54also produce a carboxylic acid. Notice
- 9:57how here we have a carboxylic acid and
- 9:59here I have an aldehyde. If I talk
- 10:02about a Carbohydrate, this one here is
- 10:04an aldehyde, it is an aldose, it is
- 10:06glucose. And when we break this, okay?
- 10:10And it begins to break, it begins to
- 10:12structure itself, the aldehyde remains
- 10:14here, this one that is over here. This,
- 10:17when it comes into contact with, uh,
- 10:19the ammoniacal solution of silver
- 10:21nitrate, well, the silver mirror is
- 10:23formed and also, look here, COOH is
- 10:25produced, which would be the carboxylic
- 10:27acid, which would be by that type. This
- 10:30is the general reaction and that is the
- 10:32reaction applied to an aldose. So, what
- 10:35happens if I have an aldose and I put
- 10:37Tollens 'reagent in it? A silver mirror
- 10:40should be painted on the container, in
- 10:42this case in a test tube, in a beaker.
- 10:45What happens if instead of being an
- 10:47aldose it is an acetose? Well, if it is
- 10:50an acetose, that silver mirror will not
- 10:52form. Here are two examples. Notice how
- 10:54here there is silver, here there is no
- 10:55silver. and here is the silver mirror.
- 10:58The silver mirror refers to the fact
- 11:00that it will stick to the walls and
- 11:02will have a very bright color, in this
- 11:03case silver. Okay, well, that chemical
- 11:06reaction is very, very interesting.
- 11:09Let's now move on to the Benedict test,
- 11:11which is possibly one of the most
- 11:12important tests for carbohydrates. It
- 11:15says here, objective: to identify
- 11:17reducing sugars. In other words, the
- 11:19Benedict test will tell you whether a
- 11:21sugar is reducing or not. Okay? It's
- 11:23that simple. It is one of the main
- 11:25tests for identifying reducing sugars
- 11:27in alkaline solutions. These
- 11:30carbohydrates can reduce copper +2,
- 11:32which if you look closely has a blue
- 11:34color, okay? And copper, excuse me,
- 11:37will reduce it from +2 to +1, which in
- 11:40this case would be a brick red color.
- 11:44And this is useful for scientists,
- 11:46chemists, biochemists, okay? Those who
- 11:49work in a laboratory to be able to
- 11:51decide whether the sugar was reducing
- 11:53or not. In other words, this change
- 11:55from blue to red is what that will be
- 11:56useful to you. For example, here I have
- 11:59a test tube with Benedict's reagent and
- 12:04a carbohydrate. Here, since there was
- 12:06no chemical reaction, there was no
- 12:07reduction reaction, it remained as
- 12:09copper + 2, which is its characteristic
- 12:11color, blue. In this red, there was a
- 12:13chemical reaction, okay? And the copper
- 12:17from + S2 turned to +1. Now, why does
- 12:20it turn red? Because the red color is
- 12:23given to it by this precipitate, that
- 12:25is, by this solid that appears here,
- 12:26which is copper oxide one. Copper oxide
- 12:29one is what makes it look red. Now,
- 12:31what does Benedict's reagent contain?
- 12:34It contains copper sulfate. The copper
- 12:36sulfate here, in this case, copper has
- 12:38an oxidation number of +2. That's why
- 12:41we say that in this case the John is +
- 12:43S do and that's why the little bottle
- 12:45looks blue. When I add it to my samples
- 12:46, several things can happen. For
- 12:47example, if the reaction doesn't take
- 12:48place because there's no reducing sugar
- 12:50, it will remain red. For example, if
- 12:51the reaction doesn't take place because
- 12:53there's no reducing sugar, it will
- 12:54remain red. in blue. That is, here we
- 12:59have a non-reducing sugar, but as I add
- 13:01reducing sugar to this, that is to say
- 13:03to the samples, the color changes until
- 13:06it reaches a brick red color. And if
- 13:10you notice, here we can identify if we
- 13:12have a low amount of reducing sugar or
- 13:14a large amount of reducing sugar based
- 13:16on the color. This is the concentration
- 13:18of reducing sugar. If I have zero
- 13:20reducing sugar, that is to say, I have
- 13:22no reducing sugar, it will remain blue.
- 13:24If I have very little reducing sugar,
- 13:26it will remain green. I increase it a
- 13:27little more, it becomes yellow, it
- 13:29becomes orange, until it becomes a
- 13:31brick red color. The brick red is
- 13:33indicating, I repeat, the presence of
- 13:35reducing sugar. And it all has to do, I
- 13:37repeat, with the oxidation-reduction
- 13:40process that is handled, I repeat, with
- 13:42reducing sugars. In this case, the one
- 13:44that is reduced would be copper from +2
- 13:46to +1 and the one that is oxidized is a
- 13:48reduction oxide. The one that is
- 13:49oxidized would be the carbohydrate.
- 13:51Okay, let's go with the fel test. Which
- 13:55is practically, practically The same as
- 13:57Benedict's, that is, they use the same
- 13:59principle, which is to identify
- 14:01reducing sugars, and it is a test very
- 14:03similar to the Benedict test, it says
- 14:05so, and it is also one of the main
- 14:07tests to identify reducing sugars in
- 14:09alkaline solutions, like the previous
- 14:11one, okay? These carbohydrates can
- 14:14reduce copper +2 from a blue color to
- 14:16copper +1 from a brick red color. That
- 14:19is, if you do not have Benedict's
- 14:20reagent in your laboratory, that is,
- 14:22you do not have Benedict's reagent, you
- 14:24can buy Felix's reagent or have it
- 14:25lying around and use it for the same
- 14:27thing. For what? How does the
- 14:29experiment consist? It is very simple.
- 14:31In a test tube, you place Felix's
- 14:33liquid, that's what it's called, liquor
- 14:35. You add sugar, in this case, you add
- 14:38a carbohydrate. You may not know if it
- 14:40is reducing or not or if it is reducing
- 14:42, okay? You add a carbohydrate and heat
- 14:45it. If it changes color to red, it is
- 14:48reducing. If it does not change color
- 14:50to red, if it remains blue, it was not
- 14:52reducing. It's that simple. Okay.
- 14:55Interesting fact. Feling's reagent
- 14:57comes in two little bottles. One as
- 15:00solution A and the other as solution B.
- 15:02Solution A contains copper sulfate,
- 15:03which was also used in Benedict's, and
- 15:05solution Bene contains an alkaline
- 15:07solution of sodium potassium tartarate.
- 15:10Okay, it's like a cultural fact. So,
- 15:14don't forget it. Benedict and Feling do
- 15:16the same thing, it's the same function.
- 15:18In fact, they use similar reagents,
- 15:21okay? They're based on copper and what
- 15:24they're trying to do is identify
- 15:26reducing sugars. Let's move on to the
- 15:29next one that's also related to
- 15:31reducing sugars, which is the Barfood
- 15:33test. In this case, the goal is to
- 15:35differentiate monosaccharides from
- 15:37reducing disaccharides. In other words,
- 15:39we're going to be able to use this type
- 15:41of test to know if what we have is a
- 15:45monosaccharide or if what we have is a
- 15:47disaccharide. It says here,"
- 15:49Monosaccharides rapidly reduce the
- 15:51copper + 2 of the Barfood reagent to
- 15:54copper + 1. "Okay, which is basically
- 15:56it. the same principle that we use for
- 15:59Benedict and for Efelin, which is to
- 16:01reduce copper from +2 to +1. Except
- 16:04that in the case of the BARF reagent,
- 16:06well, monosaccharides do it or react
- 16:08very quickly, okay? And let's say that
- 16:13very quickly is approximately 0 to 6
- 16:15minutes, which precipitates as copper
- 16:17oxide plus a, okay? Red in solution to
- 16:19weak acid. That is, it will take on a
- 16:23color similar to the one in the photo,
- 16:25which is more or less the color that I
- 16:27presented in the previous slides, where
- 16:28we said it was a brick red color. Okay?
- 16:31That precipitation is indicating to me
- 16:33that if it is a carbohydrate, it comes
- 16:35out, it is a reducing carbohydrate, but
- 16:37the speed will indicate to me if it is
- 16:39a monosaccharide or a disaccharide. On
- 16:42the other hand, disaccharides reduce
- 16:44copper plus C in a longer time.
- 16:46Generally, we say that a longer time
- 16:48would be 7 to 12 minutes or more. There
- 16:50are carbohydrates that do it in an hour
- 16:52, for example. Okay? Here we're going
- 16:55to imagine that it's seven and up. This
- 16:57test is performed in an acidic medium,
- 16:59unlike the previous ones. So, let's
- 17:02establish these rules, okay? If we only
- 17:04want to identify reducing sugars, it
- 17:06doesn't matter what type of sugar it is
- 17:08, as long as it's reducing, you can use
- 17:10Feling or you can use Benedict. But if
- 17:14what you want to do is differentiate
- 17:16between reducing monosaccharides and
- 17:18reducing disaccharides, you use Barfold
- 17:20because monosaccharides react quickly,
- 17:22okay? This red precipitate forms faster
- 17:26than disaccharides. Therefore, one way
- 17:29to identify whether it's monosaccharide
- 17:31or disaccharide is with that test and
- 17:32with the speed of the reaction, okay?
- 17:35The faster this color appears, it means
- 17:37it's a monosaccharide and the later it
- 17:38will be a disaccharide. And this would
- 17:42be the last test, it's not the end of
- 17:43the video, but it's the last test,
- 17:45which is the Lugol's test. And it says
- 17:47here that its objective is to identify
- 17:49polysaccharides. Okay, a test widely
- 17:51used to detect starch. So, this test is
- 17:54for polysaccharides, but it is
- 17:55particularly widely used for starch.
- 17:58When Lugol's solution, in this case
- 18:00Lugol's is a solution of iodine and
- 18:02potassium iodide, comes into contact
- 18:04with this polysaccharide, I repeat, we
- 18:06are talking about starch, a complex is
- 18:09formed between the iodine I3 minus,
- 18:11which is the hard iodide, and the
- 18:12amylose molecule of the starch, which
- 18:15has a helical conformation. When this
- 18:19hard iodide is introduced into the
- 18:21helix, it forms a blue or black product
- 18:23depending on the concentration of the
- 18:25sugar. Other polysaccharides such as
- 18:29amylopectin produce a reddish-purple
- 18:31color and glycogen a reddish-brown
- 18:33color when in contact with Lugol's.
- 18:37This test is very simple. You have a
- 18:39small beaker with your sample. In this
- 18:41case, you know that it is a
- 18:42carbohydrate, but you do not know
- 18:44exactly what type of carbohydrate it is
- 18:46. Well, you add a few drops of Lugol's,
- 18:49which has a slightly brown color, like
- 18:51mustard, as seen here. You add it and
- 18:55what will happen is that immediately,
- 18:56okay? There should be a color change to
- 18:59purple or a little purple or a little
- 19:01black. That change is indicating the
- 19:04presence of carbohydrates,
- 19:06polysaccharides, okay? In particular,
- 19:09if you look closely, here is an image,
- 19:12where the pam is. Pam is a food product
- 19:16that has a high starch content. Look at
- 19:19the black color that the ugol has here.
- 19:21The ugol was added in the form of drops
- 19:22and it turned out this black. Okay? The
- 19:25same with potatoes, potatoes usually
- 19:27have a high content of ugol, sorry,
- 19:29starch and with the ugol it turns
- 19:31completely black. Here I show you the
- 19:34helices that this part of this text
- 19:36talks about. This hard John Trillo is
- 19:40inserted into the helices, okay? Making
- 19:43it look like this. When the yom is
- 19:45inserted inside this helix. Okay, it
- 19:48turns completely this color. But if you
- 19:50heat it up, it turns completely black.
- 19:52or one way to get rid of this yon is to
- 19:54heat it, we return to the original tone
- 19:56. Okay, it's something like you have as
- 19:58data there. Well, to summarize, guys,
- 20:01we've already seen a lot of tests. I
- 20:04would like us to have a summary to
- 20:05fully understand how the part of the
- 20:07tests works. The first one we saw was
- 20:10the Molish test and this basically says
- 20:12that it will identify carbohydrates in
- 20:14general. That is, if I have a
- 20:17carbohydrate in a sample and I explain
- 20:19this, uh, this Molish reagent, what I'm
- 20:21going to stop is a coloration, okay?
- 20:25Violet. That is, there will be a purple
- 20:27ring and that will indicate that the
- 20:29test is positive and that I have
- 20:30carbohydrates there. Another test is
- 20:33the vial test. What the vial test will
- 20:37do is identify pentoses and pentoses
- 20:39are green positive, that is, it will be
- 20:41green if the test is positive. In this
- 20:46case, it turns green, the color is
- 20:47indicating that we have a pentose in
- 20:49the sample. On the other hand, The
- 20:53SwanOf test is used to identify, sorry,
- 20:56ketoses, and this type of test is also
- 20:58by color, and the cherry red color,
- 21:00okay? It tells me that I have a
- 21:03positive test, that is, that I have
- 21:05ketoses in the sample. If it doesn't
- 21:07change to cherry red, it means that I
- 21:09don't have ketoses. For the Tollens
- 21:11test, in this case we have the
- 21:13identification of aldoses. Let's say
- 21:15that these two are contrasted. In this
- 21:18one I can identify the dosas and a
- 21:19silver mirror will form in the
- 21:21container. Yes, and only if aldehydes
- 21:24appear, in this case aldoses in my
- 21:26sample. We also have the Benedickell
- 21:29test. These two basically do the same
- 21:32thing, which is to identify reducing
- 21:34sugars using in fact the same procedure
- 21:36, which is using copper sulfate. Well,
- 21:40what that copper sulfate is going to
- 21:42contain is copper +2 that is going to
- 21:44be reduced to copper +1 and when it
- 21:46makes that reduction change, a brick
- 21:48red color will appear that will
- 21:49indicate that the test is positive. And
- 21:53if the test is positive, it means that
- 21:55I have reducing sugars. If there is no
- 21:57change in the color of the sugar, sorry
- 21:59, to brick red, it means that the sugar
- 22:01is not reducing. We also have the Barfo
- 22:05test, and in this case, this test tells
- 22:07us that we will be able to
- 22:08differentiate monosaccharides from
- 22:10disaccharides. This test is also for
- 22:13reducing sugars. In fact, it uses the
- 22:15same principle, it uses the principle
- 22:17of copper reduction. In this case,
- 22:19there is a color change from red to
- 22:21brick like the one here, but if it is
- 22:23fast, the test will be positive for
- 22:25monosaccharides, and if the color
- 22:26change is slow, it will be positive for
- 22:28disaccharides. Well, finally, there is
- 22:32the Lugol test. This Lugol test helps
- 22:35us identify polysaccharides. In fact,
- 22:38one of the polysaccharides that is most
- 22:40used in this type of test is starch. It
- 22:43is a test specifically for starch. Uh,
- 22:47how do I know or how do I recognize
- 22:49that I have starch in my sample when,
- 22:51when applying LOL, the color changes to
- 22:53blue or black, that is, something very
- 22:55dark. And we have a positive starch
- 22:58there. I think that's a good summary
- 23:02that can tell you or help you when
- 23:03deciding what type of test you need to
- 23:05identify carbohydrates. And to close
- 23:10the video, we have here an example or
- 23:12an exercise that could help you better
- 23:14understand the topic we just saw in the
- 23:16video. Okay, it says here," In a
- 23:20laboratory and a sample in a beaker, it
- 23:22is suspected that it is a carbohydrate.
- 23:24"We are not sure, we do not even know
- 23:26what type of carbohydrate it could be,
- 23:28but we are going to apply the tests,
- 23:30okay? Uh, theoretically to see what it
- 23:32could do. It says here, section A. Then
- 23:35, molish reagent is added and the color
- 23:37changes to purple. And the question is,
- 23:41what does this tell us? Okay, what
- 23:44could you answer if you add something
- 23:46you suspect is a carbohydrate to your
- 23:48sample, you add a molish reagent, you
- 23:50do the experiment, and it changes color
- 23:52to purple. What could you conclude?
- 23:54Well, let's go to section B. To the
- 23:56same sample, okay? That is, to this one
- 23:59that we suspect is a carbohydrate in
- 24:01another one in another beaker or in
- 24:03another test tube, okay? Something we
- 24:06take a sample of this carbohydrate or
- 24:08that suspected carbohydrate and now
- 24:10instead of applying molish we apply
- 24:11lugol. And in this case it says that
- 24:15the color does not change. If we apply
- 24:17lugol the color changes. What can you
- 24:20conclude? Okay, section C. The sample
- 24:24is analyzed again in another beaker and
- 24:26the barf test is performed, taking a
- 24:28long time to show any insignificant
- 24:30change to red color. What can you
- 24:33deduce from this? Finally, the fel
- 24:36liquor is added and the test is
- 24:38negative. Do you remember that it was
- 24:41negative in felling? Okay, it says the
- 24:43test is negative. Could you try to
- 24:46predict what carbohydrate was present
- 24:48in the sample? That is, from these four
- 24:52tests, four independent tests on the
- 24:54same sample, you should be able to say
- 24:56what type of carbohydrate it is here in
- 24:58the last section. I would like you to
- 25:04tell me at the end of the video what
- 25:06you think is the carbohydrate we are
- 25:07talking about here. Leave it in your
- 25:13comments, we will analyze it, discuss
- 25:15it and in the next video I upload,
- 25:17which should be the one on proteins, in
- 25:18fact it is here, there I will surely
- 25:20talk or I will start the protein video
- 25:22by talking about the answers to the
- 25:24previous exercise. Okay, I would like,
- 25:29I repeat, for you to comment on what
- 25:31you think is the carbohydrate we were
- 25:32talking about in the previous exercise
- 25:34based on what I reviewed in the video.
- 25:37Okay, guys, I won't take up any more of
- 25:39your time. Have a great day. I hope the
- 25:41carbohydrate videos have been useful to
- 25:42you and I will see you in the protein
- 25:44videos. Greetings.
