Concept Introduction:

Monosaccharides that are aldoses contains an aldehyde group.  The carbonyl of the aldehyde undergoes oxidation very easily resulting in the formation of carboxyl group.  The product formed is known as aldonic acid.  Benedict’s reagent is Cu2+.  The monosaccharides that contains aldehyde group are known as reducing sugars.  In the course of the reaction, Benedict’s reagent is reduced to Cu+.  General reaction can be represented as follows.

    Aldose + 2Cu2+Aldonicacid + Cu2O
