What are Sugars and Non - Sugars? ​

Answer 1

Here is your answer

• Sugar is a simple carb and non sugar carbs can be starch such as potatoes, complex carbs such as fibers, fruits, and veggies.

• Sugar is made of one glucose and one fructose while potatoes are made of long chains of glucose and fruits/veggies are made of long chains of glucose and fructose.

• 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.
• A disaccharide can be a reducing sugar or a non-reducing sugar. Maltose and lactose are reducing sugars, while sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.
