An acid is generally defined as a substance that is able to lower the pH of an aqueous solution by donating protons to water molecules, turning them into positively charged H3O+ molecules.
Monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, maltose and lactose are by their very nature not able to donate protons and are therefore not acidic. The same thing goes for disaccharides like sucrose (household sugar) and polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose.
