A cracker which contains starch,is test positive with iodine solution but not Benedict's solution. This is because Benedict's solution is used to test for reducing sugars like glucose,galactose,fructose,maltose and lactose.In this case, the cracker is added with amylase enzyme which hydolyses starch into maltose,thus benedict's solution is test positive
