Question

what are reducing and non reducing sugars​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbohydrates containing free aldehyde and keto functional group are thus reducing sugars. Example: Glucose, lactose. Non-reducing sugars: If the groups are not free, then they do not reduce Tollens reagent and Fehling's solution and are, therefore, classified as Non-reducing sugars. Example: Maltose, sucrose.
