A Benedict's test on a chewed cracker is expected to yield a positive result, indicating the presence of reducing sugars, primarily due to the breakdown of starch into simpler sugars like maltose during chewing. The test will show a color change, typically resulting in a green to brick-red precipitate, depending on the concentration of reducing sugars present. This reflects the enzymatic activity of saliva, which starts the digestion of carbohydrates.
