The examples and differences between reducing and non-reducing sugars are given below.
Explanation:
Reducing sugars:
- These are the carbohydrates that act as reducing agents because of the presence of a free aldehyde or ketone group.
- They give a positive reaction towards Fehling's test.
- They include all the monosaccharides.
- Examples are maltose and lactose.
Non-reducing sugars:
- These are the carbohydrates that cannot act as the reducing agents because of the absence of a free aldehyde or ketone group.
- They give a negative reaction towards Fehling's test.
