Fehling's solution is the name given to a chemical reagent, primarily used to differentiate between water-soluble carbohydrate and ketone functional groups. It can also be used as a test for reducing sugars and non reducing sugars. This reagent is prepared from two solutions, a basic solution of Rochelle Salt and a solution of Copper Sulfate.
