    Many proteins give positive results for Molisch's test because they contain carbohydrates in the form of glycoproteins. Glycoproteins are very common in proteins. Molisch's test detects the presence of carbohydrates, so glycoproteins will test positive whereas non-glycosylated proteins will test negative. Other sources of pentoses include nucleic acids, various gums, and heart muscle tissues. Seliwanoff's test can distinguish between aldohexoses and ketohexoses based on color - ketohexoses produce a deep red color while aldohexoses produce a lighter pink color. Bial's reagent, used to test for pentoses, contains orcinol, hydrochloric

    Questions:
    1. Why do many proteins give positive result for Molischs test
    >A colour test for sugar, which condenses with alpha-naphthol or thymol in the presence
    of strong sulfuric acid, which converts the sugar to furfural derivatives.
    Molisch test for carbohydrate:. This test distinguishes carbohydrates from noncarbohydrates. ... Seliwanoffs Test for distinguishing aldoses from ketoses: ...
    >Molisch's Test is a test for the presence of carbohydrates. Therefore, glycoproteins
    give positive results to Molisch's test because they are proteins in complex with
    carbohydrates. Glycoproteins are very common, therefore many proteins give a positive
    result to Molisch's Test. However, proteins that are not glycoproteins give a negative
    result to Molisch's Test

    2. From what other sources are pentoses obtained?
    >The other sources where pentoses obtained are Nucleic acid, Gum Arabic, plum and
    cherry gums, wood gums, and heart muscles

    3. How would you test for milk in a milk chocolate bar?
    >sodium citrate test
    4. How can Seliwanoffs test be in identifying an unknown sugar?
    > Seliwanoff's test is used to distinguish between aldehyde and ketone hexoses
    (carbohydrates containing 6 carbon atoms). A ketone hexose, also called a ketohexose,
    will form a deep red color when reacted with Seliwanoff's reagent. An aldehyde hexose,
    also called a aldohexose, will show a light pink color that takes a longer time to develop
    when reacted with Seliwanoff's reagent.

    5. What is the chemical composition of Bial's reagent?
    >Bial's test is a chemical test for the presence of pentoses. It is named after Manfred
    Bial, German Physician. The components include orcinol, hydrochloric acid, and ferric
    chloride. A pentose, if present, will be dehydrated to form furfural which then reacts with
    the orcinol to generate a colored substance.
