Benedict's test is a biochemical assay used to detect the presence of reducing sugars, particularly glucose, in a solution. When a sample is mixed with Benedict's reagent and heated, a color change occurs, indicating the concentration of reducing sugars: blue (no sugar), green (trace amounts), yellow/orange (moderate), and brick red (high concentration). This test is commonly used in clinical settings to monitor blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.
