  1. 0:12Howdy, guys! I'm happy to greet you.
  2. 0:16Today I bring you a new video to
  3. 0:18continue talking about carbohydrates.
  4. 0:22Specifically, today we're going to talk
  5. 0:24about qualitative identification tests.
  6. 0:27Well, I remind you that here on my Gabo
  7. 0:29Rosado channel, you'll be able to find
  8. 0:31several videos about carbohydrates.
  9. 0:34Specifically, I've already uploaded
  10. 0:35eight and the one you're watching right
  11. 0:37now is number nine. Let's say we're
  12. 0:39closing a series of videos about
  13. 0:41carbohydrates. We might be able to
  14. 0:44upload some extras in the future, but
  15. 0:45these nine would already cover the
  16. 0:47topic of carbohydrates to a good level,
  17. 0:49for me. Okay? In order to understand
  18. 0:54number nine, you should have watched
  19. 0:56the previous ones, since this one in
  20. 0:58particular will use previous concepts,
  21. 1:00such as reducing sugars, which are
  22. 1:01ketoses, which are aldoses, and the
  23. 1:03classification of carbohydrates. Okay.
  24. 1:08Well, now let's start with the
  25. 1:10qualitative tests for identifying
  26. 1:12carbohydrates. It says here, "The
  27. 1:16objective of these tests is to observe
  28. 1:18the behavior of a series of
  29. 1:19carbohydrates by subjecting them to
  30. 1:21various qualitative analyses and, based
  31. 1:23on these observations, identify the
  32. 1:25carbohydrate or carbohydrates present
  33. 1:27in an unknown solution. There are
  34. 1:30different types of chemical reactions
  35. 1:32that allow us to qualitatively
  36. 1:34determine the presence of carbohydrates
  37. 1:36, whether they are monosaccharides,
  38. 1:37oligosaccharides or polysaccharides.
  39. 1:40And these reactions are based, for
  40. 1:42example, on the reduction of copper or
  41. 1:44on the coloration that the sugars take
  42. 1:46on after reacting with a reagent. In
  43. 1:48other words, all the tests that we are
  44. 1:50going to see right now are qualitative,
  45. 1:52that is, they will not tell us how much
  46. 1:54carbohydrate there is, because those
  47. 1:55would be quantitative, but rather they
  48. 1:57will tell us what type of carbohydrate
  49. 1:59there is in a sample. Okay, and all of
  50. 2:01them are based on chemical reactions,
  51. 2:03such as, for example, the reduction of
  52. 2:06copper is mentioned here, that is, we
  53. 2:08are going to work with
  54. 2:09oxidation-reduction reactions or also
  55. 2:11with colorations, okay? Here it says
  56. 2:13colorations that will help us identify
  57. 2:15which carbohydrate is present in a
  58. 2:17certain sample. Well, let's start with
  59. 2:21the First, the Molish test, and this
  60. 2:23subjective test has the objective of
  61. 2:25identifying carbohydrates in general.
  62. 2:29In other words, this test tells you
  63. 2:30whether or not what you have in your
  64. 2:32sample is a carbohydrate. Well, let's
  65. 2:35see how this test works. This test is
  66. 2:38based on the hydrolyzing and
  67. 2:40dehydrating action of concentrated
  68. 2:42sulfuric acid on carbohydrates. In
  69. 2:45other words, if I have a carbohydrate
  70. 2:47and I add sulfuric acid to it, it will
  71. 2:49hydrolyze and dehydrate it. I think the
  72. 2:52word dehydrate is very easy, it means
  73. 2:54removing water, but the word hydrolyze,
  74. 2:57okay? It has another meaning, which is
  75. 2:59basically breaking the structure, and
  76. 3:01it will break it, okay? Through, in
  77. 3:04this case, water, okay? A water
  78. 3:08molecule will break the structure and
  79. 3:09in the end that water molecule will
  80. 3:11dehydrate. Okay, so in fact, if you
  81. 3:14look here at the chemical reaction, we
  82. 3:16are removing water. Well, so in this
  83. 3:20test, the acid What it will do is
  84. 3:21hydrolyze any glycosidic bonds present
  85. 3:24in the sample and dehydrate the
  86. 3:25resulting monosaccharides to form
  87. 3:27furfurals. So, we already said that
  88. 3:31what sulfuric acid will do is break
  89. 3:33down the monosaccharide or disaccharide
  90. 3:35or whatever the carbide is, it will
  91. 3:37break it down and ultimately dehydrate
  92. 3:39it. The furfurals will come out, which
  93. 3:43is what will remain after we have done
  94. 3:45that dehydration. The furfurals will
  95. 3:50react with the alpha-naphthol of the
  96. 3:51Molish reagent and will give rise to a
  97. 3:53violet-colored product or a ring, okay?
  98. 3:57Violet. In this case, guys, if I break
  99. 4:00the structure, in this case, look, an
  100. 4:03exose, an exose, remember that it is a
  101. 4:05carbohydrate or a six-carbon
  102. 4:06monosaccharide, when the exose breaks
  103. 4:09down and dehydrates, what it will form
  104. 4:11is a furfural. In this case, the
  105. 4:13furfural that will form is a
  106. 4:15hydroxymethyl Furfural. It comes out as
  107. 4:17if it were a pentose. When pentoses
  108. 4:20break down and dehydrate, what they
  109. 4:22form are furfurals. That one is pure.
  110. 4:25That is a hydroxymethyl furfural and
  111. 4:27that is a furfural. It is an exam
  112. 4:29question. For example, the molish test,
  113. 4:31an exose, what does it turn into? A
  114. 4:34hydromethyl furfural. A pentose, what
  115. 4:37does it turn into? A furfural. Now,
  116. 4:40these two have furfural characteristics
  117. 4:42, okay? And what they are going to do
  118. 4:44is react with the two alpha naphthol.
  119. 4:48which is this one over here, which is
  120. 4:50present in the molish reagent and it is
  121. 4:52going to form a colored complex, that
  122. 4:53is, the sample is going to be colored
  123. 4:55if we are talking about an exose or a
  124. 4:57pentose or in particular a carbohydrate
  125. 4:59, okay? Whichever way this reaction
  126. 5:03takes, it is going to be colored. If it
  127. 5:05is not colored, in this case purple, we
  128. 5:07are talking about it not being a
  129. 5:09carbohydrate. It is that simple. That
  130. 5:11is to identify carbohydrates. In
  131. 5:12general. Now, let's imagine that you
  132. 5:14already know that you have a
  133. 5:16carbohydrate, but you don't know what
  134. 5:17type of carbohydrate it is. Well, this
  135. 5:19is what a vial test is for. What the
  136. 5:22vial test does or its objective is to
  137. 5:24identify pentoses. It produces a
  138. 5:27specific colored reaction for pentoses,
  139. 5:29this one in particular. Under carefully
  140. 5:32controlled conditions of temperature,
  141. 5:34time, and hydrochloric acid
  142. 5:36concentration, the pentoses are rapidly
  143. 5:38converted to furfural, which is the
  144. 5:40same reagent. Okay? Well, it does not
  145. 5:44react with the same intermediate that
  146. 5:46we obtained here, the furfurals, okay?
  147. 5:48Those are the structures that are
  148. 5:50ultimately going to be colored. In this
  149. 5:52case, here we use sulfuric acid and
  150. 5:54here we use hydrochloric acid. The
  151. 5:57hydrochloric acid is going to have
  152. 5:59practically the same structure or the
  153. 6:01same function that it did in the
  154. 6:02previous step, okay? It's going to
  155. 6:04break down the carbohydrate. That's
  156. 6:06what the hydrochloric acid is going to
  157. 6:08do and it's going to become, I repeat,
  158. 6:10a furfural. Now, How is this different
  159. 6:12from the presence of ferric
  160. 6:14nicotinamide and orsinol, which is what
  161. 6:16makes the vial test characteristic,
  162. 6:18okay? In the presence of ferric
  163. 6:21nicotinamide, sorry, and orsinol,
  164. 6:23furfural condenses rapidly to produce a
  165. 6:25green complex upon heating. Therefore,
  166. 6:30unlike this one, two alpha naphthol was
  167. 6:32used here, which is what gives the
  168. 6:34characteristic to the Molish reagent,
  169. 6:36okay? But in this, which is the vial
  170. 6:39test, what gives it the characteristic
  171. 6:41is the ferric nicotinamide and orsinol
  172. 6:43that are present in the vial reagent.
  173. 6:46That is what will make it turn green
  174. 6:47instead of violet. And if your
  175. 6:49carbohydrate changes green, what you
  176. 6:51will have is a pentose. Which pentose?
  177. 6:54It is not known, but you can already
  178. 6:55know that it is a pentose and you can
  179. 6:57rule out that it is an exose, a triose,
  180. 6:59a tetrose. Okay, for now, this is used
  181. 7:02to identify pentoses. What color will
  182. 7:04it change to? to green, like this one
  183. 7:06here or that one over here. Well, there
  184. 7:09is another test called the Celof test.
  185. 7:11In the Celof test, the objective is to
  186. 7:14identify ketoses. Well, in this case,
  187. 7:16the colored reaction that allows us to
  188. 7:19identify, I repeat here, ketoses in
  189. 7:21concentrated hydrochloric acid solution
  190. 7:23. Let's say that it's going to be the
  191. 7:26same, the same way to start. The
  192. 7:28hydrochloric acid is going to break
  193. 7:30down, in this case, it's going to
  194. 7:32dehydrate, it's going to hydrolyze the
  195. 7:34carbohydrates. Well, in concentrated
  196. 7:36hydrochloric acid solution, the ketoses
  197. 7:38are dehydrated more quickly than the
  198. 7:40aldoses. They produce furfural
  199. 7:43derivatives. Again, we obtain furfural
  200. 7:45that is going to be colored. These
  201. 7:48compounds form complexes with the
  202. 7:50resorcinol present in the Celanof
  203. 7:52reagent. Celanof, unlike the Vial test
  204. 7:58or the Vial reagent, is that Bial has
  205. 8:00Ferric John and Orsinol that color the
  206. 8:03furfural green. On the other hand, in
  207. 8:08Celanof, Furfural, okay? That's the
  208. 8:10structure that's over here, whether you
  209. 8:12have it in hydroxymethyl furfural or in
  210. 8:14furfural, okay? It's going to color it
  211. 8:19in this case cherry red, because
  212. 8:21there's resorcinol in celanof, okay? So
  213. 8:26, we've basically already seen that
  214. 8:28furfural is going to be colored in
  215. 8:30different colors, either violet, okay?
  216. 8:34Because of the 2 alpha naphthol, here
  217. 8:36it's violet because of the 2 alpha
  218. 8:38naphthol, green because of the ferric
  219. 8:40ion and orcinol, and cherry red because
  220. 8:42of the resorcinol. It works. So, all of
  221. 8:45those have to do with furfural and they
  222. 8:47all have to do with an acidic medium.
  223. 8:50Remember that the first one was with
  224. 8:51sulfuric acid and the other two were
  225. 8:53with hydrochloric acid. Now, let's go
  226. 8:55to the Tollens test. The Tollens test
  227. 8:58is used to identify aldoses. Just as
  228. 9:01the previous one, which was elovf, was
  229. 9:03used to identify ketoses. This one is
  230. 9:06used to identify Aldoses. Well, the
  231. 9:09basis of this test is the chemical
  232. 9:11reaction between Tolens 'reagent,
  233. 9:13ammoniacal silver nitrate solution.
  234. 9:15That's Tolens' reagent. Well, in fact,
  235. 9:18here it is. It's a solution of silver
  236. 9:20and ammonia. Well, and an aldehyde. So,
  237. 9:23I'm going to start over so we don't
  238. 9:25confuse anyone. The basis of this test
  239. 9:27is the chemical reaction between Tolens
  240. 9:29'reagent, which we already said what it
  241. 9:30is, and an aldehyde. Remember that
  242. 9:32aldehydes in carbohydrates are in the
  243. 9:34form of aldoses, which exposes a silver
  244. 9:36mirror on the walls of the container.
  245. 9:39Here again we resort to color. If you
  246. 9:43notice, that's a reaction for any
  247. 9:44aldehyde. Aldeide. Aldege plus Tollens'
  248. 9:48reagent will produce a or a silver
  249. 9:50mirror formation, okay? And it will
  250. 9:54also produce a carboxylic acid. Notice
  251. 9:57how here we have a carboxylic acid and
  252. 9:59here I have an aldehyde. If I talk
  253. 10:02about a Carbohydrate, this one here is
  254. 10:04an aldehyde, it is an aldose, it is
  255. 10:06glucose. And when we break this, okay?
  256. 10:10And it begins to break, it begins to
  257. 10:12structure itself, the aldehyde remains
  258. 10:14here, this one that is over here. This,
  259. 10:17when it comes into contact with, uh,
  260. 10:19the ammoniacal solution of silver
  261. 10:21nitrate, well, the silver mirror is
  262. 10:23formed and also, look here, COOH is
  263. 10:25produced, which would be the carboxylic
  264. 10:27acid, which would be by that type. This
  265. 10:30is the general reaction and that is the
  266. 10:32reaction applied to an aldose. So, what
  267. 10:35happens if I have an aldose and I put
  268. 10:37Tollens 'reagent in it? A silver mirror
  269. 10:40should be painted on the container, in
  270. 10:42this case in a test tube, in a beaker.
  271. 10:45What happens if instead of being an
  272. 10:47aldose it is an acetose? Well, if it is
  273. 10:50an acetose, that silver mirror will not
  274. 10:52form. Here are two examples. Notice how
  275. 10:54here there is silver, here there is no
  276. 10:55silver. and here is the silver mirror.
  277. 10:58The silver mirror refers to the fact
  278. 11:00that it will stick to the walls and
  279. 11:02will have a very bright color, in this
  280. 11:03case silver. Okay, well, that chemical
  281. 11:06reaction is very, very interesting.
  282. 11:09Let's now move on to the Benedict test,
  283. 11:11which is possibly one of the most
  284. 11:12important tests for carbohydrates. It
  285. 11:15says here, objective: to identify
  286. 11:17reducing sugars. In other words, the
  287. 11:19Benedict test will tell you whether a
  288. 11:21sugar is reducing or not. Okay? It's
  289. 11:23that simple. It is one of the main
  290. 11:25tests for identifying reducing sugars
  291. 11:27in alkaline solutions. These
  292. 11:30carbohydrates can reduce copper +2,
  293. 11:32which if you look closely has a blue
  294. 11:34color, okay? And copper, excuse me,
  295. 11:37will reduce it from +2 to +1, which in
  296. 11:40this case would be a brick red color.
  297. 11:44And this is useful for scientists,
  298. 11:46chemists, biochemists, okay? Those who
  299. 11:49work in a laboratory to be able to
  300. 11:51decide whether the sugar was reducing
  301. 11:53or not. In other words, this change
  302. 11:55from blue to red is what that will be
  303. 11:56useful to you. For example, here I have
  304. 11:59a test tube with Benedict's reagent and
  305. 12:04a carbohydrate. Here, since there was
  306. 12:06no chemical reaction, there was no
  307. 12:07reduction reaction, it remained as
  308. 12:09copper + 2, which is its characteristic
  309. 12:11color, blue. In this red, there was a
  310. 12:13chemical reaction, okay? And the copper
  311. 12:17from + S2 turned to +1. Now, why does
  312. 12:20it turn red? Because the red color is
  313. 12:23given to it by this precipitate, that
  314. 12:25is, by this solid that appears here,
  315. 12:26which is copper oxide one. Copper oxide
  316. 12:29one is what makes it look red. Now,
  317. 12:31what does Benedict's reagent contain?
  318. 12:34It contains copper sulfate. The copper
  319. 12:36sulfate here, in this case, copper has
  320. 12:38an oxidation number of +2. That's why
  321. 12:41we say that in this case the John is +
  322. 12:43S do and that's why the little bottle
  323. 12:45looks blue. When I add it to my samples
  324. 12:46, several things can happen. For
  325. 12:47example, if the reaction doesn't take
  326. 12:48place because there's no reducing sugar
  327. 12:50, it will remain red. For example, if
  328. 12:51the reaction doesn't take place because
  329. 12:53there's no reducing sugar, it will
  330. 12:54remain red. in blue. That is, here we
  331. 12:59have a non-reducing sugar, but as I add
  332. 13:01reducing sugar to this, that is to say
  333. 13:03to the samples, the color changes until
  334. 13:06it reaches a brick red color. And if
  335. 13:10you notice, here we can identify if we
  336. 13:12have a low amount of reducing sugar or
  337. 13:14a large amount of reducing sugar based
  338. 13:16on the color. This is the concentration
  339. 13:18of reducing sugar. If I have zero
  340. 13:20reducing sugar, that is to say, I have
  341. 13:22no reducing sugar, it will remain blue.
  342. 13:24If I have very little reducing sugar,
  343. 13:26it will remain green. I increase it a
  344. 13:27little more, it becomes yellow, it
  345. 13:29becomes orange, until it becomes a
  346. 13:31brick red color. The brick red is
  347. 13:33indicating, I repeat, the presence of
  348. 13:35reducing sugar. And it all has to do, I
  349. 13:37repeat, with the oxidation-reduction
  350. 13:40process that is handled, I repeat, with
  351. 13:42reducing sugars. In this case, the one
  352. 13:44that is reduced would be copper from +2
  353. 13:46to +1 and the one that is oxidized is a
  354. 13:48reduction oxide. The one that is
  355. 13:49oxidized would be the carbohydrate.
  356. 13:51Okay, let's go with the fel test. Which
  357. 13:55is practically, practically The same as
  358. 13:57Benedict's, that is, they use the same
  359. 13:59principle, which is to identify
  360. 14:01reducing sugars, and it is a test very
  361. 14:03similar to the Benedict test, it says
  362. 14:05so, and it is also one of the main
  363. 14:07tests to identify reducing sugars in
  364. 14:09alkaline solutions, like the previous
  365. 14:11one, okay? These carbohydrates can
  366. 14:14reduce copper +2 from a blue color to
  367. 14:16copper +1 from a brick red color. That
  368. 14:19is, if you do not have Benedict's
  369. 14:20reagent in your laboratory, that is,
  370. 14:22you do not have Benedict's reagent, you
  371. 14:24can buy Felix's reagent or have it
  372. 14:25lying around and use it for the same
  373. 14:27thing. For what? How does the
  374. 14:29experiment consist? It is very simple.
  375. 14:31In a test tube, you place Felix's
  376. 14:33liquid, that's what it's called, liquor
  377. 14:35. You add sugar, in this case, you add
  378. 14:38a carbohydrate. You may not know if it
  379. 14:40is reducing or not or if it is reducing
  380. 14:42, okay? You add a carbohydrate and heat
  381. 14:45it. If it changes color to red, it is
  382. 14:48reducing. If it does not change color
  383. 14:50to red, if it remains blue, it was not
  384. 14:52reducing. It's that simple. Okay.
  385. 14:55Interesting fact. Feling's reagent
  386. 14:57comes in two little bottles. One as
  387. 15:00solution A and the other as solution B.
  388. 15:02Solution A contains copper sulfate,
  389. 15:03which was also used in Benedict's, and
  390. 15:05solution Bene contains an alkaline
  391. 15:07solution of sodium potassium tartarate.
  392. 15:10Okay, it's like a cultural fact. So,
  393. 15:14don't forget it. Benedict and Feling do
  394. 15:16the same thing, it's the same function.
  395. 15:18In fact, they use similar reagents,
  396. 15:21okay? They're based on copper and what
  397. 15:24they're trying to do is identify
  398. 15:26reducing sugars. Let's move on to the
  399. 15:29next one that's also related to
  400. 15:31reducing sugars, which is the Barfood
  401. 15:33test. In this case, the goal is to
  402. 15:35differentiate monosaccharides from
  403. 15:37reducing disaccharides. In other words,
  404. 15:39we're going to be able to use this type
  405. 15:41of test to know if what we have is a
  406. 15:45monosaccharide or if what we have is a
  407. 15:47disaccharide. It says here,"
  408. 15:49Monosaccharides rapidly reduce the
  409. 15:51copper + 2 of the Barfood reagent to
  410. 15:54copper + 1. "Okay, which is basically
  411. 15:56it. the same principle that we use for
  412. 15:59Benedict and for Efelin, which is to
  413. 16:01reduce copper from +2 to +1. Except
  414. 16:04that in the case of the BARF reagent,
  415. 16:06well, monosaccharides do it or react
  416. 16:08very quickly, okay? And let's say that
  417. 16:13very quickly is approximately 0 to 6
  418. 16:15minutes, which precipitates as copper
  419. 16:17oxide plus a, okay? Red in solution to
  420. 16:19weak acid. That is, it will take on a
  421. 16:23color similar to the one in the photo,
  422. 16:25which is more or less the color that I
  423. 16:27presented in the previous slides, where
  424. 16:28we said it was a brick red color. Okay?
  425. 16:31That precipitation is indicating to me
  426. 16:33that if it is a carbohydrate, it comes
  427. 16:35out, it is a reducing carbohydrate, but
  428. 16:37the speed will indicate to me if it is
  429. 16:39a monosaccharide or a disaccharide. On
  430. 16:42the other hand, disaccharides reduce
  431. 16:44copper plus C in a longer time.
  432. 16:46Generally, we say that a longer time
  433. 16:48would be 7 to 12 minutes or more. There
  434. 16:50are carbohydrates that do it in an hour
  435. 16:52, for example. Okay? Here we're going
  436. 16:55to imagine that it's seven and up. This
  437. 16:57test is performed in an acidic medium,
  438. 16:59unlike the previous ones. So, let's
  439. 17:02establish these rules, okay? If we only
  440. 17:04want to identify reducing sugars, it
  441. 17:06doesn't matter what type of sugar it is
  442. 17:08, as long as it's reducing, you can use
  443. 17:10Feling or you can use Benedict. But if
  444. 17:14what you want to do is differentiate
  445. 17:16between reducing monosaccharides and
  446. 17:18reducing disaccharides, you use Barfold
  447. 17:20because monosaccharides react quickly,
  448. 17:22okay? This red precipitate forms faster
  449. 17:26than disaccharides. Therefore, one way
  450. 17:29to identify whether it's monosaccharide
  451. 17:31or disaccharide is with that test and
  452. 17:32with the speed of the reaction, okay?
  453. 17:35The faster this color appears, it means
  454. 17:37it's a monosaccharide and the later it
  455. 17:38will be a disaccharide. And this would
  456. 17:42be the last test, it's not the end of
  457. 17:43the video, but it's the last test,
  458. 17:45which is the Lugol's test. And it says
  459. 17:47here that its objective is to identify
  460. 17:49polysaccharides. Okay, a test widely
  461. 17:51used to detect starch. So, this test is
  462. 17:54for polysaccharides, but it is
  463. 17:55particularly widely used for starch.
  464. 17:58When Lugol's solution, in this case
  465. 18:00Lugol's is a solution of iodine and
  466. 18:02potassium iodide, comes into contact
  467. 18:04with this polysaccharide, I repeat, we
  468. 18:06are talking about starch, a complex is
  469. 18:09formed between the iodine I3 minus,
  470. 18:11which is the hard iodide, and the
  471. 18:12amylose molecule of the starch, which
  472. 18:15has a helical conformation. When this
  473. 18:19hard iodide is introduced into the
  474. 18:21helix, it forms a blue or black product
  475. 18:23depending on the concentration of the
  476. 18:25sugar. Other polysaccharides such as
  477. 18:29amylopectin produce a reddish-purple
  478. 18:31color and glycogen a reddish-brown
  479. 18:33color when in contact with Lugol's.
  480. 18:37This test is very simple. You have a
  481. 18:39small beaker with your sample. In this
  482. 18:41case, you know that it is a
  483. 18:42carbohydrate, but you do not know
  484. 18:44exactly what type of carbohydrate it is
  485. 18:46. Well, you add a few drops of Lugol's,
  486. 18:49which has a slightly brown color, like
  487. 18:51mustard, as seen here. You add it and
  488. 18:55what will happen is that immediately,
  489. 18:56okay? There should be a color change to
  490. 18:59purple or a little purple or a little
  491. 19:01black. That change is indicating the
  492. 19:04presence of carbohydrates,
  493. 19:06polysaccharides, okay? In particular,
  494. 19:09if you look closely, here is an image,
  495. 19:12where the pam is. Pam is a food product
  496. 19:16that has a high starch content. Look at
  497. 19:19the black color that the ugol has here.
  498. 19:21The ugol was added in the form of drops
  499. 19:22and it turned out this black. Okay? The
  500. 19:25same with potatoes, potatoes usually
  501. 19:27have a high content of ugol, sorry,
  502. 19:29starch and with the ugol it turns
  503. 19:31completely black. Here I show you the
  504. 19:34helices that this part of this text
  505. 19:36talks about. This hard John Trillo is
  506. 19:40inserted into the helices, okay? Making
  507. 19:43it look like this. When the yom is
  508. 19:45inserted inside this helix. Okay, it
  509. 19:48turns completely this color. But if you
  510. 19:50heat it up, it turns completely black.
  511. 19:52or one way to get rid of this yon is to
  512. 19:54heat it, we return to the original tone
  513. 19:56. Okay, it's something like you have as
  514. 19:58data there. Well, to summarize, guys,
  515. 20:01we've already seen a lot of tests. I
  516. 20:04would like us to have a summary to
  517. 20:05fully understand how the part of the
  518. 20:07tests works. The first one we saw was
  519. 20:10the Molish test and this basically says
  520. 20:12that it will identify carbohydrates in
  521. 20:14general. That is, if I have a
  522. 20:17carbohydrate in a sample and I explain
  523. 20:19this, uh, this Molish reagent, what I'm
  524. 20:21going to stop is a coloration, okay?
  525. 20:25Violet. That is, there will be a purple
  526. 20:27ring and that will indicate that the
  527. 20:29test is positive and that I have
  528. 20:30carbohydrates there. Another test is
  529. 20:33the vial test. What the vial test will
  530. 20:37do is identify pentoses and pentoses
  531. 20:39are green positive, that is, it will be
  532. 20:41green if the test is positive. In this
  533. 20:46case, it turns green, the color is
  534. 20:47indicating that we have a pentose in
  535. 20:49the sample. On the other hand, The
  536. 20:53SwanOf test is used to identify, sorry,
  537. 20:56ketoses, and this type of test is also
  538. 20:58by color, and the cherry red color,
  539. 21:00okay? It tells me that I have a
  540. 21:03positive test, that is, that I have
  541. 21:05ketoses in the sample. If it doesn't
  542. 21:07change to cherry red, it means that I
  543. 21:09don't have ketoses. For the Tollens
  544. 21:11test, in this case we have the
  545. 21:13identification of aldoses. Let's say
  546. 21:15that these two are contrasted. In this
  547. 21:18one I can identify the dosas and a
  548. 21:19silver mirror will form in the
  549. 21:21container. Yes, and only if aldehydes
  550. 21:24appear, in this case aldoses in my
  551. 21:26sample. We also have the Benedickell
  552. 21:29test. These two basically do the same
  553. 21:32thing, which is to identify reducing
  554. 21:34sugars using in fact the same procedure
  555. 21:36, which is using copper sulfate. Well,
  556. 21:40what that copper sulfate is going to
  557. 21:42contain is copper +2 that is going to
  558. 21:44be reduced to copper +1 and when it
  559. 21:46makes that reduction change, a brick
  560. 21:48red color will appear that will
  561. 21:49indicate that the test is positive. And
  562. 21:53if the test is positive, it means that
  563. 21:55I have reducing sugars. If there is no
  564. 21:57change in the color of the sugar, sorry
  565. 21:59, to brick red, it means that the sugar
  566. 22:01is not reducing. We also have the Barfo
  567. 22:05test, and in this case, this test tells
  568. 22:07us that we will be able to
  569. 22:08differentiate monosaccharides from
  570. 22:10disaccharides. This test is also for
  571. 22:13reducing sugars. In fact, it uses the
  572. 22:15same principle, it uses the principle
  573. 22:17of copper reduction. In this case,
  574. 22:19there is a color change from red to
  575. 22:21brick like the one here, but if it is
  576. 22:23fast, the test will be positive for
  577. 22:25monosaccharides, and if the color
  578. 22:26change is slow, it will be positive for
  579. 22:28disaccharides. Well, finally, there is
  580. 22:32the Lugol test. This Lugol test helps
  581. 22:35us identify polysaccharides. In fact,
  582. 22:38one of the polysaccharides that is most
  583. 22:40used in this type of test is starch. It
  584. 22:43is a test specifically for starch. Uh,
  585. 22:47how do I know or how do I recognize
  586. 22:49that I have starch in my sample when,
  587. 22:51when applying LOL, the color changes to
  588. 22:53blue or black, that is, something very
  589. 22:55dark. And we have a positive starch
  590. 22:58there. I think that's a good summary
  591. 23:02that can tell you or help you when
  592. 23:03deciding what type of test you need to
  593. 23:05identify carbohydrates. And to close
  594. 23:10the video, we have here an example or
  595. 23:12an exercise that could help you better
  596. 23:14understand the topic we just saw in the
  597. 23:16video. Okay, it says here," In a
  598. 23:20laboratory and a sample in a beaker, it
  599. 23:22is suspected that it is a carbohydrate.
  600. 23:24"We are not sure, we do not even know
  601. 23:26what type of carbohydrate it could be,
  602. 23:28but we are going to apply the tests,
  603. 23:30okay? Uh, theoretically to see what it
  604. 23:32could do. It says here, section A. Then
  605. 23:35, molish reagent is added and the color
  606. 23:37changes to purple. And the question is,
  607. 23:41what does this tell us? Okay, what
  608. 23:44could you answer if you add something
  609. 23:46you suspect is a carbohydrate to your
  610. 23:48sample, you add a molish reagent, you
  611. 23:50do the experiment, and it changes color
  612. 23:52to purple. What could you conclude?
  613. 23:54Well, let's go to section B. To the
  614. 23:56same sample, okay? That is, to this one
  615. 23:59that we suspect is a carbohydrate in
  616. 24:01another one in another beaker or in
  617. 24:03another test tube, okay? Something we
  618. 24:06take a sample of this carbohydrate or
  619. 24:08that suspected carbohydrate and now
  620. 24:10instead of applying molish we apply
  621. 24:11lugol. And in this case it says that
  622. 24:15the color does not change. If we apply
  623. 24:17lugol the color changes. What can you
  624. 24:20conclude? Okay, section C. The sample
  625. 24:24is analyzed again in another beaker and
  626. 24:26the barf test is performed, taking a
  627. 24:28long time to show any insignificant
  628. 24:30change to red color. What can you
  629. 24:33deduce from this? Finally, the fel
  630. 24:36liquor is added and the test is
  631. 24:38negative. Do you remember that it was
  632. 24:41negative in felling? Okay, it says the
  633. 24:43test is negative. Could you try to
  634. 24:46predict what carbohydrate was present
  635. 24:48in the sample? That is, from these four
  636. 24:52tests, four independent tests on the
  637. 24:54same sample, you should be able to say
  638. 24:56what type of carbohydrate it is here in
  639. 24:58the last section. I would like you to
  640. 25:04tell me at the end of the video what
  641. 25:06you think is the carbohydrate we are
  642. 25:07talking about here. Leave it in your
  643. 25:13comments, we will analyze it, discuss
  644. 25:15it and in the next video I upload,
  645. 25:17which should be the one on proteins, in
  646. 25:18fact it is here, there I will surely
  647. 25:20talk or I will start the protein video
  648. 25:22by talking about the answers to the
  649. 25:24previous exercise. Okay, I would like,
  650. 25:29I repeat, for you to comment on what
  651. 25:31you think is the carbohydrate we were
  652. 25:32talking about in the previous exercise
  653. 25:34based on what I reviewed in the video.
  654. 25:37Okay, guys, I won't take up any more of
  655. 25:39your time. Have a great day. I hope the
  656. 25:41carbohydrate videos have been useful to
  657. 25:42you and I will see you in the protein
  658. 25:44videos. Greetings.
