Bial's test
Chemical test
Bial's test is a chemical test for the presence of pentoses originally developed for the diagnosis of Pentosuria. It is named after Manfred Bial, a German physician. The components include orcinol, hydrochloric acid, and ferric chloride. A pentose, if present, will be dehydrated to form furfural which then reacts with the orcinol to generate a colored substance. The solution will turn bluish and a precipitate may form. The solution shows two absorption bands, one in the red between Fraunhofer lines B and C and the other near the D line. An estimate of the relevant wavelengths can be made by referring to the Fraunhofer lines article.
