Examples
Reducing monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, glyceraldehyde and galactose.
Many disaccharides, like lactose and maltose also dohave a reducing form, as one of the two units may have an open-chain withan aldehyde group. However, sucrose and trehalose, in which the anomeric carbons of the two units are linked together, are non-reducing disaccharides.
In glucose polymers as starch and starch-derivatives like glucosesyrup, maltodextrin and dextrin the macromolecule beginswith a reducing sugar, a free aldehyde.
More hydrolysed starch containsmore reducing sugars. The percentage reducing sugars present in these starchderivatives is called dextrose equivalent (DE).
