The correct observation in the following reaction is: Sucrose → Cleavage   ( Hydrolysis ) Gly   cosidic   bond A + B → Reagent Seliw   anoff ?
Options
- AFormation of blue colour
- BGives no colour
- CFormation of red colour
- DFormation of violet colour
Correct answer
C. Formation of red colour
Step-by-step solution
Seliwanoff reagent → [ Resorcinol + Conc. HCl ] 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. Ketoses show red colour with Seliwanoff Reagent.
