Quantitative Analysis
The colorimetric agent was prepared by
mixing 12 ml of Nelson’s reagent A and 0.5 ml
of Nelson’s reagent B. To make the stock
solution, 0.1 g of glucose was weighed and
mixed with 2 mL distilled water. Two-fold
dilution were performed to make 1000, 500,
250, and 125 concentrations. Nelson’s reagent
was added and was placed in a boiling water
bath for 10 minutes (uncapped). The solution
was then added with 0.5ml of arsenomolybdate Figure 1. Visible results on qualitative
and was mixed using a spatula until tests for starch
effervescence ceased. 200 ul of the reaction
mixture was transferred in a 96-well plate in Starch had no reaction with both Benedict’s
triplicate. reagent and Barfoed’s solution. These are tests
for reducing sugars and monosaccharides,
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION respectively. As shown in Figure 1 above, the
General Tests for Polysaccharides solution only turned blue in color. Starch
produced a negative result since it is a
polysaccharide and only has a very small
number of reducing sugar constituents.
Seliwanoff’s test is specific for ketohexoses
while Bial’s-Orcinol test is specific for pentoses.
Starch, a polysaccharide, produced a negative
result on both tests as it reacted poorly with the
reagents.
