NEOCUPROINE
BENEDICT’S
Reduce cupric ion to cuprous ion by the action of a reducing substance such as glucose
ALKALINE COPPER REDUCTION METHOD
Cu2+ + phosphomolybdic acid → phosphomolybdenum (blue)
FOLIN WU
Cu2+ + arsenomolybdic acid → phosphomolybdenum (blue)
NELSON SOMOGYI
Cu2+ + neocuproine → Cu – neocuproine (yellow/ y-orange)
NEOCUPROINE
end color of neocuproine
(yellow/ y-orange)
contains Cu(OH)2 copper hydroxide
Benedict’s reagent

brick red precipitate
ALKALINE FERRIC REDUCTION METHOD aka
hagedorn jensen
ALKALINE FERRIC REDUCTION METHOD is _ method and _
TITRIMETRIC METHOD and INVERSE COLORIMETRY
Initial is colored and the final reaction is colorless.
Reduction of color is measured
INVERSE COLORIMETRY
in hagedorn jensen,
Potassium ferricyanide (yellow) is reduced when heated in an alkaline solution by a reducing sugar such as glcose, produces _ (colorless)
Potassium ferrocyanide
Uses: Ortho-toluidine is an aromatic amine
CONDENSATION METHOD
Method that uses glucose with aromatic amine forms schiff’s base when heated in an acidic sol’n
Absorbance:
Interferences:
Condensation Method
Absorbance: 630nm
Interferences: galactose & mannose can also form schiff’s base
Condensation Method’s acidic soln
glacial acetic
