Vedclass · Answer

(D) Sugars that do not reduce Tollen's reagent,Fehling's solution,or Benedict's solution are known as non-reducing sugars.In sucrose,the glycosidic linkage is formed between the $C1$ of glucose and the $C2$ of fructose.Since both anomeric carbons are involved in the glycosidic bond,there is no free aldehyde or ketone group available to act as a reducing agent.Therefore,sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.
