Carbohydrates Dehydration of sucrose, Fehling's test, Benedict's test, osazone formation, destructive distillation of wood, oxidation of sucrose with potassium chlorate, and guncotton are demonstrated.
Converting Municipal Waste into Automobile Fuel: Ethanol from NewspaperMark Mascal and Richard Scown In this experiment, waste newspaper is pulped with acid and its cellulose hydrolyzed to produce glucose syrup that is fermented and distilled to yield ethanol. In doing so, students are introduced to carbohydrate chemistry and the use of fermentation in organic synthesis. Mascal, Mark; Scown, Richard. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 546.

Glycosyltransferases A and B: Four Critical Amino Acids Determine Blood TypeNatisha L. Rose, Monica M. Palcic, and Stephen V. Evans Human A, B, and O blood type is determined by the presence or absence of distinct carbohydrate structures on red blood cells. In this review the chemistry of the blood group ABO system and the role of glycosyltransferase A, glycosyltransferase B, and the four amino acids critical to determining blood group status are discussed. Rose, Natisha L.; Palcic, Monica M.; Evans, Stephen V. J. Chem. Educ.2005, 82, 1846.
Biomolecules (Netorials)Rachel Bain, Mithra Biekmohamadi, Liana Lamont, Mike Miller, Rebecca Ottosen, John Todd, and David Shaw Biomolecules: this is a resource in the collection "Netorials". This set of modules will provide you with a descriptive overview of the four major classes of biomolecules found in all living organisms: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. The Netorials cover selected topics in first-year chemistry including: Chemical Reactions, Stoichiometry, Thermodynamics, Intermolecular Forces, Acids & Bases, Biomolecules, and Electrochemistry.

The Chemistry of CoffeeWilliam F. Coleman The paper Our Everyday Cup of Coffee: The Chemistry behind Its Magic by Marino Petracco provides a hearty blend of molecules for this month. The author deals with coffee at a number of different levels ranging from the economic and social to the still perplexing questions of flavor and aroma. The associated molecules demonstrate a range of structural features that students will benefit from examining in three dimensions.
