Why does starch not reduce Fehling solution

Answers

In the Fehling's experiment the starch doesn't have a reducing power because the OH is not free but when the starch is hydrolyzed it turns into glucose and glucose has a free OH because it's a monosacharide. Also the last glucose of the starch chain will have a reducing power (the ones that are in the ends).
