What does Benedict test for?

The Benedict's test is used to detect the presence of reducing sugars, such as glucose and fructose, in a solution. When a sample containing reducing sugars is heated with Benedict's reagent, a color change occurs, indicating the presence of these sugars. The test can produce a range of colors from green to red, depending on the concentration of reducing sugars present. It's commonly used in clinical settings to monitor glucose levels in urine.
