Seliwanoff test and Xanthoproteic test are used for the identification of _ and _ respectively.
Options
- Aaldoses, ketoses
- Bketoses, proteins
- Cproteins, ketoses
- Dketoses, aldoses
Correct answer
B. ketoses, proteins
Step-by-step solution
Seliwanoff test for ketose and Xenthoprotic test for proteins. Seliwanoff's test is a chemical test which distinguishes between aldose and ketose sugars. If the sugar contains a ketone group, it is a ketose. If a sugar contains an aldehyde group, it is an aldose. This test relies on the principle that, when heated, ketoses are more rapidly dehydrated than aldoses.
