Glucose, being an aldose, does not give a strong positive result in the Seliwanoff test. It typically results in little to no color change or a very faint pink color. This is because glucose, an aldose, does not have the same reactive ketone group as fructose and thus does not react strongly with resorcinol under acidic conditions.
