Can all the disaccharides are reducing sugars ?

Answer»

Solution :Sucrose is a non reducing sugar. This is because glycosidic linkage takes place between anomeric HYDROXYL ofglucose `(C_1)` and anomeric hydroxyl GROUP of FRUCTOSE `((C_1))` and anomeric hydroxyl group of fructose `(C_2)`
Maltose and LACTOSE are examples of reducing sugars.
