Hi,
How would I know If sugar is inside my Diet Coke or not :-) ,
I mean is there any compound that changes color If I added a drop of COKE ,
and doesn’t change color If I added a drop of Diet Coke ?
or might be vise versa.
Please , Bare in mind: Amb. Temp, type of sugar: Mono, Di, Compex )
BR,

You can buy test strips from a pharmacy which are used to measure glucose levels in the urine of diabetics.
The tab on the end of the test strip changes colour after being dipped in urine (or Coke in this case),
this colour is compared to a scale on the container to estimate the sugar (glucose) concentration.

You could try testing normal (not diet) Coke to confirm that the test strips designed to test urine work with Cola.

Thanks Dear ,
In fact, I was thinking about that :-) ,
but I thought that theses strips works
on ketons ( I mean metabolized glucose ) ,
but I will try this any way ,
since it is handy solution, and really cheap...
i will let you know about the result soon ...
Many thanks again ,

You can get multi-purpose test strips which test urine for the presence of:-
Ketones, glucose, blood, leukocytes, protein, etc.
They are more expensive than the glucose-only test strips.

Benedict's reagent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Benedict's solution)
Jump to: navigation, search
Benedict's reagent (also called Benedict's solution or Benedict's test) is a reagent used as a test for the presence of reducing sugars (such as glucose, lactose, and fructose, but not sucrose), or more generally for the presence of aldehydes, in a solution.

Benedict's reagent contains blue copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) · 5H2O which is reduced to red copper(I) oxide by aldehydes, thus oxidizing the aldehydes to carboxylic acids. The copper oxide is insoluble in water and so precipitates. The colour of the final solution ranges from green to brick red depending on how many of the copper(II) ions are present. Benedict's test cannot be used to detect the presence of aromatic aldehydes.

When Benedict's is used as a chemical test for the presence of reducing sugars in food, the food sample is dissolved in water and about 5ml of the sample solution is added to 5ml of Benedict's qualitative reagent. The mixture is placed in a boiling waterbath for 5 minutes and any precipitate formed is recorded as a positive for the presence of sugar in the food.

The reason sucrose has a negative result in Benedict's solution is because sucrose is a non-reducing sugar when in contact with a base. Benedict’s solution cannot break down the bonds of sucrose like other sugars, this would be the opposite if it were an acid.

Thanks Dear it worked !!!
the test shows that Diet coke has no sugar, and the normal coke has a lot of it !!!

Someir, thanks for letting us know these test strips work on cola.

I am probably being over cautious but...
you should not drink cola which has been in contact with the test strip, as reagent chemicals could have contaminated the cola and they may be toxic. You should immediately discard any cola which could have been contaminated in this way to avoid accidental ingestion by yourself or others.
