Galactose does not give a positive test for Seliwanoff's test. This test is used to differentiate between aldose and ketose sugars, with ketoses producing a rapid red color upon heating with the reagent. Since galactose is an aldose, it would not produce the characteristic reaction indicative of ketoses.
