Non-absorbable sugars are also called sugar alcohols. They are sweet-tasting, but are not readily absorbed from the intestine into the body. Most are manufactured for commercial use. Examples are non-caloric sweeteners, like sorbitol and mannitol, which are often used in candies and gums. Non-absorbable sugars may be prescribed as laxatives.

∙ 14y agoReducing and Non-reducing Sugars:
Sugars which are capable of reducing the oxidizing agents Tollen's reagent (AgO), Fehling reagents (CuO) or Ferricynide in alkaline solution are called the Reducing Sugars. Examples include glucose, fructose, maltose and lactose.
Those sugars which are unable to reduce oxidizing agents such as those listed above are called non-reducing sugars. Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.
Carbohydrates that can reduce oxidizing agents are reducing sugars. In the instance of disaccharides, structures that possess one free unsubstituted anomeric carbon atom are reducing sugars. The end of the molecule containing the free anomeric carbon is called the reducing end, and the other end is called the nonreducing end. So non-reducing sugars that cannot reduce oxidizing agents.

Does gentiobiose undergo mutarotation?
Yes, since galactose is a monosaccharide it can undergo mutarotaion just like glucose. The only difference between glucose and galactose is the side the OH and H are on, on the carbon atom #4. When galactose becomes a in chain form, drawn in Fischer formula the OH will be on the left side instead of the right side. This is how you get Galactose α or β, at the end of the mutarotation the chain can link back into a ring either way, α with the carbon #1's OH on the bottom and H on top, or β with the OH on top and H on the bottom (Haworth formula).
Why sucrose solution when mixed with hydrochloric acid will give a positive result in Benedict's test?
In acidic solution (also in e.g. sugar containing limonades),the nonreducing di-saccharide sucrose is quit easily turned ('hydrolysed' or split) intothe two mono- saccharides glucose and fructose, which are in fact (in this test) reducing.The aldose glucose is a straight forward reducing sugar, so positively detected by B's test reagent.The ketose fructose is not strictly a reducingsugar (it is an alpha-hydroxy-ketone, not an aldehyde), but it becomes reducing thus giving a positive test. This is because this 'alpha-hydroxy-ketone' is converted to the aldoses: glucose and mannose, by the alkaline solution of the Benedict's test (called 'keto-enol'-tautomerisation).
Is Sugar Cane the Same as Cane Sugar?
Cane Sugar is the sugar that is refined from the juice of Sugar Cane. Sugar Cane is a plant. Cane Sugar is a product.
What is the difference between maple sugar and white sugar?
White sugar is sugar extracted from the sugar cane. Maple sugar is sugar extracted from part of the maple tree.
What is the difference between sugar crystals and sugar cubes?
sugar crystals are just small sugar pieces that combine into sugar cubes
Why is starch a nonreducing sugar?
Reducing property of carbohydrate is lost due to alfa 1.4 linkage
Is glucose a nonreducing ketohexose in sucrose?
monosaccharides :)
What are nonreducing sugars?
reducing sugars are those sugars which cannot donate electron and cannot reduce other solution
Why does starch produce a negative result with Benedict's reagent?
Benedict test have a negative result in glycogen because glycogen is a polysaccharide. Benedict test is meant for testing reducing sugars. It can also give positive results in the case of disaccharide or monosaccharide.
What makes the best tasting kool-aid?
