Lactose is classed as a "reducing sugar" as it contains a aldehyde group (-CHO) which is oxidised into (-COOH) when reacted with an oxidant such as Fehling's or Benedict's reagant (alkaline conditions).
A redox reaction (also known as an electron transfer reaction) occurs when the reagent is added to the reducing sugar (at 80°C) and the following reaction occurs:
2Cu(OH)2 + R-CH=O → Cu2O + R-COOH + 2H2O
as you can see, the 2Cu(OH)2 becomes Cu2O and is hence reduced from Cu2+ to Cu+, making the sugar it has reacted with a 'reducing sugar' :)

Is sucrose is reducing sugar?
No, it is not a reducing sugar.
Is there a sugar free lactulose product?
No, lactulose is itself a sugar. However, how it works is that it is not absorbed by the body but instead broken down to acids, which act to hold water in the stools to soften them and make them easier to pass, thereby alleviating constipation.
