How is Barfoed reagent able to distinguish a reducing monosaccharide from a reducing disaccharide?
Homework Answers
Barfoed reagent is a mixture of copper acetate and acetic acid.
The test is based on reduction of Cu2+ to Cu2O (red precipitate) by
monosaccharides. Disaccharides are much weaker reducing agents
hence they do not reduce Cu2+ under the weakly acidic test
conditions. The 
aldehyde group in the
monosaccharide gets oxidized to acid.

If our body mainly uses the monosaccharide glucose for energy, how is it possible that thoe polysaccharide starch, and the disaccharides lactose and sucrose can be used for energy? The enzyme a-amylase cleaves disaccharides from the non-reducing ends of amylose and amylopectin (the major components of starch). Draw the disaccharide produced by the a- amylase acting on a component of starch. (Refer to structures at the end of this lab.)
