    Abstract Carbohydrates serve as a primary energy source and structural components in biological systems. The identification of carbohydrates in unknown samples is a fundamental procedure in biochemistry. The Molisch test is the standard general test for the detection of carbohydrates. This article discusses the principle, procedure, and application of the Molisch test, highlighting a modified ("patched") procedure designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and color differentiation in the detection of trace carbohydrate quantities.

  • Limitations:

    • The test relies on the dehydration of the carbohydrate by a strong acid. When concentrated sulfuric acid is added to a carbohydrate solution containing Molisch’s reagent (α-naphthol dissolved in ethanol), the acid hydrolyzes the glycosidic bonds of polysaccharides to yield monosaccharides.

    These monosaccharides are then dehydrated by the sulfuric acid to form furfural (from pentoses) or hydroxymethyl furfural (from hexoses). These furfural derivatives then condense with the α-naphthol (the Molisch reagent) to form a purple or violet colored complex.
