Question

Which of the following gives a positive test with ninhydrin ?

Accepted Answer

Option C. The ninhydrin test is a chemical test which is used to detect the presence of amino acids or proteins. When amino acids or proteins react with ninhydrin, a deep blue or purple color is produced, which is indicative of a positive test. This reaction primarily occurs due to the reaction of ninhydrin with the free amino groups (-NH₂) present in amino acids or proteins.
