Describe the reactions of D-Ribulose with the following test.
Tollen's test
Benedict's reagent
Seliwanoff's reagent
Yeast
Iodine
Structure of D-ribulose
1. D-ribulose contain ketone group, while Benedict's reagent test is only given by aldose sugars. So it will not give Benedict's reagent test .
2.D-ribulose contain ketone group, while Benedict's reagent test is only given by aldose sugars. So it will not give Benedict's reagent test .
3. D-ribulose contain ketone group, while Seliwanoff's reagent test is given by ketoses, reagent dehydrates ketohexoses to form 5-hydroxymethylfurfural having red colour.
4. It ferments D-ribulose.
5. D-ribulose is monosaccharide while Iodine test is given by only polysaccharides so it will not give this test.
