Author says tannins give most of the protein reactions, 

 and may thus lead investigators to many wrong conclu- 

 sions. The following test is given for grape sugar in 

 plant tissues : The parts to be tested are soaked for 

 some time in an alcoholic copper solution, and then 

 brought to a boil over a water bath. This causes a pre- 

 cipitate of copper oxide (oxydul) in all of the cells which 

 contained grape sugar. The alcoholic copper solution is 

 made as follows : Add some acetic acid and glycerin to 

 an alcoholic solution of copper acetate. This is then 



substances which reduce Feliling. A great number of 

 soluble reducing substances are removed by the alcohol 

 from the plant cells, while the sugar remains behind. 



Barfoed's reagent consists of acetate of copper dis- 

 solved in water and made acid by acetic acid. It is useful 

 for detection of sugar in some cases where Fehling's 

 solution is worthless, i. e., in the presence of PhlorogTu- 

 cin, Aesculin, Quercit, which reduce the latter. The for- 

 mer, on the contrary, is reduced by Hydrochinon and 

 Resorcin.
