Vedclass · Answer

(A) non-reducing sugar is a carbohydrate that does not have a free aldehyde or ketone group to act as a reducing agent. $Sucrose$ is a disaccharide composed of $Glucose$ and $Fructose$ units linked by a glycosidic bond between their respective anomeric carbons ($C1$ of $Glucose$ and $C2$ of $Fructose$). Since both anomeric carbons are involved in the glycosidic linkage,$Sucrose$ cannot open to form an aldehyde or ketone group,making it a non-reducing sugar. $Maltose$,$Lactose$,and $Glucose$ all contain at least one free anomeric carbon,making them reducing sugars.
