There should be some mention here of using Benedict's solution to identify aldehydes...I'll write something up about it soon. Added some very bare-bones info on using Benedict's to identify aldehydes. I have a feeling that it doesn't oxidise alcohols because it's a very weak oxidant, but as I have no source for that I'm not going to put it in yet. Akchizar 03:59, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
What is the difference between this and fehling's? Both have copper sulfate pentahydrate as the active ingrediant right? Thanks. Jacob Colbert 04:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

This page has been vandalised, but I don't have enough knowledge about the subject manner to fix it. Aardvarkoffnords 18:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Expansion
Some chemical reactions would improve the article, as well as a picture. Richard001 21:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
I have a question: Name a naturally occuring substance that gives an orange colour as a result of Benedict's solution test. Can you help me? thanks a lot. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zabetta (talk • contribs) 14:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
