Discussion on glucose contain in urine (color of urine change from blue to green). biochemistry experiment report.


Assalamualaikum and salam sejahtera.  This is the report that i made for my part in a group report submission. There might be somewhere right and somewhere wrong. I want to share with other people on how i write this report.
Measurement of glucose contain in urine.

This is my part that i wrote:




RESULT
Glucose concentration(g/l) can be calculated using the formula:
X            :           1000 ml × 5 ml × 0.005g
                a ml

X =  the glucose concentration (g/l)
a  =  the volume of urine, used for titration
5  =  the volume of the Fehling reagent

Sample
Number of droplets
Volume of urine, used for titration (ml)
Color reactions.(From blue color changed to:)
Result of glucose conc.(g/l)
A
31
1.55
Green in the upper part, blue at the bottom
1.6
B
60
3.0
Green in the upper part, blue at the bottom
0.83



A urine glucose test is a quick and simple ways to check for abnormal high levels of glucose in urine. As we know, body will convert the carbohydrates from meals we eat into glucose and having too much of glucose in body can be a serious health problem. The characteristic of normal urine usually has a light yellow color, due to presence of a yellow pigment called Urochrome. The abnormal constituents of urine are sugar (glucose), ketone bodies, blood, protein and bile. When glucose level in blood exceeds the renal threshold of glucose (160-180mg/dl), glucose starts to appear in urine and this is called glucosuria and is usually indicates diabetes mellitus.
In Fehling’s test, Fehling  solution 1 and 2 was boil with the urine sample and the solution is reduced by reducing agent, glucose(sugar) to form a colored precipitate of cuprous oxide. Depending upon the concentration of glucose, green, yellow and brick red precipitates of cuprous oxide are formed. Below is the table showing the color sequence depending upon the concentration of glucose level.


Color of precipitate
Percentage of sugar present
Blue
Sugar absent
Green
0.5 to 1%
Yellow
1 to 2 % sugar
Brick red
2% or more sugar



Based on our result, for the both sample, the precipitation below the test tube still not changes where, the color are still blue (partially changed color). In sample A, its need 31 drops urine containing glucose to change the color of solution to green. This means that the concentration of glucose level is higher than sample B, which in sample B need 60 drops of urine containing glucose to change color. From here, we can assume that even though both persons urine are still not considered diabetic, person with sample A are mostly to get diabetes mellitus if not control the diet they consume. Hence, we can say that both sample are still normal.
