The Seliwanoff color reaction, discovered by Russian chemist Feodor Feodorovich Selivanov, is used to differentiate between aldoses and ketohexoses based on their dehydration and reaction with resorcinol in acidic conditions. Ketoses like fructose react faster than aldoses like glucose, leading to a
