In the laboratory, many tests are employed to identify the reducing action of sugars. These include Benedict’s test, Fehling’s test, Barfoed’s test etc. The reduction is much more efficient in the alkaline medium than in the acidic medium. (sic emphasis)

Is it something to do with the reagents used because many of them are just basic solutions, but if the reagent happens to be an acidic solution then will be that statement valid?
