Tollens' reagent or Benedict's solution can be used to test for the presence of the aldehyde group in glucose. These reagents are able to oxidize the aldehyde group in glucose to form a colored precipitate. The appearance of a silver mirror or a red precipitate indicates the presence of the aldehyde group.
