To test for reducing sugars in fruit juice, you can use Benedict's test. First, mix equal volumes of the juice and Benedict's reagent in a test tube, then heat the mixture in a boiling water bath for about 5-10 minutes. If reducing sugars are present, the solution will change color, typically from blue to green, yellow, or brick-red, indicating the presence and concentration of reducing sugars.
