Question

different redusing sugar and non redusing sugar​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sugars that can be oxidised by mild oxidising agents are called reducing sugars. A non-reducing sugar is a sugar that is NOT oxidised by mild oxidising agents. All common monosaccharides are reducing sugars. The disaccharides maltose and lactose are reducing sugars. The disaccharide sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Reducing sugars are sugars where the anomeric carbon has an OH group attached that can reduce other compounds. Non-reducing sugars do not have an OH group attached to the anomeric carbon so they cannot reduce other compounds. All monosaccharides such as glucose are reducing sugars.

Non-reducing sugars are carbohydrates that cannot act as reducing agents due to the absence of free aldehyde groups or free ketone groups. Reducing sugars have a sweet taste. Non-reducing sugars have a less sweet taste. Most of the reducing sugars are Monosaccharides.
