Reducing sugars
This glucose component makes it a reducing sugar. Lactose is found in human and cow milk. This glucose base makes maltose a reducing sugar. It can be found naturally in germinating grain, starches, and corn syrup in small amounts.
Non 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.

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.
The chemical elements in a non reducing sugar?
frictose glucose lactose
Is xylose a reducing sugar?
Ribose: Ribose is an Aldopentose sugar, and all aldose sugars are reducing sugars. The non-reducing sugars are ketose sugars which contain a ketone functional group. For ex: Ketose = Sucrose. For ex: Aldose = Glucose, Fructose, Lactose
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 carbohydrates give a positive reaction with benedicts reagent?
all reducing sugars - monosaccharides like glucose and a few non-reducing disaccharides like maltose
Is glucose and fructose reducing sugars?
yes, both glucose and fructose are reducing sugars. but the sucrose is non-reducing sugar although it is formed from two reducing sugars.
What are the names of two non-reducing sugars?
The disaccharides Sucrose and Trehalose are both non-reducing sugars.
Do fructose and glucose contain reducing sugars?
No, it is a polysaccharide and like other polysaccharides it is a non reducing sugar.
Does bread contain non-reducing sugars?
no it does not
When a non reducing sugar is tested with Benedict's reagent?
Non reducing sugars do not react with Benedict's reagent. After the test, sample without reducing sugars remains the same, blue.When reducing sugars are present in the sample, we can consider four results after the test is completed: a) green, low amount, that is 0.1 to 0.5% of reducing sugars in solution; b) yellow, low amounts of reducing sugars, 0.5 to 1.0%; c) orange, moderate content of reducing sugars, 1.0 to 1.5% of reducing sugars present; and c) brick red, large amount of reducing sugars in solution, 1.5 to 2.0%.
Aside from sucrose which sugars are non-reducing?
mannitol
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.
The chemical elements in a non reducing sugar?
frictose glucose lactose
what is fehling test?
It is a chemical reagent used to differentiate water-soluble carbohydrates and ketone functioning groups. Its also a test for reducing and non-reducing sugars.
How does the body store non reducing sugars?
in fat cells
