What is non-reducing sugar?
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.
Why is starch a nonreducing sugar?
Reducing property of carbohydrate is lost due to alfa 1.4 linkage
What is the difference between reducing and non reducing sugar?
The Fehling's and the Benedict's Test are the just two of the many tests conducted in identifying reducing and non-reducing sugars. Reducing sugars like the monosaccharides can reduce cupric hydroxide from the reagents used. This is because the reducing sugars have a free oH group at their anomeric carbon that can cause the reduction of mild oxidizing agents like fehling and Benedict solution.In non reducing sugars this oH is involved in glycosidic bond formation.
Summarize the differences between simple sugars double sugars and complex sugars?
simple sugars are the sugars that are bad for the body and then the double are the sugars that are twice as bad and takes out more energy during the breakdown of the body . complex sugars are pretty self explanatory . :D Also, simple sugars are sugars that the body can use directly, while complex sugars take along time to be broken down.
