yes it is a reducing sugar, it has a free anomeric OH group. thus it can also mutarotate

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).
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.
Which sugar is NOT a reducing sugar?
Sucrose
What is the action of strong alkali on reducing sugar?
The action of strong alkali on reducing sugar, reverses the form of sugar back and forth.
How hydrochloric acid affect non-reducing sugar?
A non-reducing sugar can be hydrolyzed using dilute hydrochloric acid. After hydrolysis and neutralization of the acid, the product is a reducing sugar. So acidic hydrolysis can convert the non-reducing sugars (disaccharides and polysaccharides) into reducing simple sugars.
Is gentiobiose a reducing or non-reducing sugar?

Is gentiobiose a reducing sugar?
Yes
Why is starch a nonreducing sugar?
Reducing property of carbohydrate is lost due to alfa 1.4 linkage
What are nonreducing sugars?

What is reduced sugar?
A reducing sugar that, in a solution has an aldehyde or a ketone group. This allows the sugar has an reducing agent.
