What is the Beneticts test?

The Benedict's test is a qualitative assay used to detect the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose and fructose, in a solution. In this test, a sample is mixed with Benedict's reagent and heated; a color change occurs if reducing sugars are present, typically resulting in a shift from blue to green, yellow, orange, or brick red, depending on the concentration of the sugars. This test is commonly used in clinical settings to screen for conditions like Diabetes mellitus.
