Is there a biochemical test for maltose?

Answer Posted / gurudut

Barfoed's test which reacts with mono- but not di-
saccharides as well as Benedicts test for reducing sugars
which gives a positive test with maltose.

A negative Barfoed's and a positive Benedict's would narrow
the list of possible sugars.

Selivanoff's test may also be useful.
