HCl interacts with pentoses producing furfural. This causes a bright pink color. This distinguishes pentoses (sugars containing five carbons) and hexoses (sugars containing six carbons).3-Furanaldehyde responds to the usual aldehyde tests but unlike 2- furanaldehyde it gives no color test with aniline acetate.
