Aylin Preston · Answer 1

Benedict's reagent test for one particular reducing sugar:glucose. Benedict's reagent starts out aqua-blue. As it is heated in the presence of reducing sugars, it turns yellow to orange. The "hotter" the final color of the reagent, the higher the concentration of reducing sugar.
