Non-reducing sugars have

  • free CHO group and bound CO group

  • free CO group and bound CHO group

  • both CO and CHO free groups

  • neither free CO nor free CHO groups

neither free CO nor free CHO groups

Non- reducing sugars lack free aldehyde or ketonic group and they do not reduce cupric ions of Benedict's or Fehling's solution to cuprous ions, e.g., sucrose.
