Answer:
Carbohydrates contain many alcohol groups as well as a carbonyl group and this implies that under the proper conditions, they can undergo oxidation reactions. Under mild oxidizing conditions, the aldehyde group of acyclic sugar can be transformed into carboxylic acid to form a molecule called aldonic acid (general name). The most common type of reagent is the bromine in water.
