sokeritestit
Sokeritestit, in Finnish usage, refer to tests that detect or quantify sugars in a sample. They are used in chemistry, biochemistry, the food industry, agriculture, education, and clinical laboratories to identify carbohydrate content, differentiate sugar types, or determine concentration.
Common qualitative tests include Benedict’s test and Fehling’s test, which detect reducing sugars by color change
Quantitative approaches range from refractometry (Brix) for estimating total sugar content in liquids like juice or
Applications include quality control in food production, fermentation monitoring, and product development, as well as diagnostic
Interpretation of results depends on the method and potential interferences. Qualitative tests indicate the presence of
