To test an albumin sample for reducing sugar simply and safely, it will be necessary to use boiling water and Benedict's reagent.
This will be done as follows:
- The water must be heated until it starts to boil.
- Albumin is then completely dissolved in this water.
- The solution made with the albumin and boiling water is set aside so that it can cool completely.
- With the cold solution, Benedict's reagent is added.
- Wait 10 minutes for Benedict's reagent to react.
- If the solution is blue, it means that the solution has no reducing sugar.
- If the solution turns green, it means the solution has reducing sugar.
It is important to remember that this test is possible because albumin is a protein that can be completely dissolved in water.
