Qualitative laboratory reagent used for the detection of monosaccharides
Based on copper(II) acetate in a mildly acidic medium
Monosaccharides reduce copper(II) ions to form a red precipitate of copper(I) oxide
Distinguishes monosaccharides from disaccharides based on reaction rate
Commonly used in biochemistry and carbohydrate analysis laboratories
