Answer 2

Seliwanoff’s test is a chemical test which distinguishes between aldose and ketosesugars. Ketoses are distinguished from aldoses via their ketone/aldehydefunctionality. If the sugar contains a ketone group, it is a ketose. If a sugar contains an aldehyde group, it is an aldose. This test relies on the principle that, when heated, ketoses are more rapidly dehydrated than aldoses. It is named after Theodor Seliwanoff, the chemist that devised the test.
