Which of the following are non-reducing sugars -

In disaccharides, if the reducing groups of monosaccharides, i.e., aldehydic or ketonic groups are bonded, these are non-reducing sugars. Which of the following disaccharide is a non-reducing sugar?

In disaccharides, if reducing groups of monosaccharides i.e. aldehydic or ketonic groups are bonded, these are non-reducing sugars. Which of the following disaccharides is a non-reducing sugar ?

A non-reducing sugar ''A'' hydrolyses to give two reducing mono sachharides. Sugar A is :

What are reducing and non-reducing sugars ? What is the structural feature characterising reducing sugars ? What is an invert sugar ?

The two monosaccharides are joined together by an oxide linkage formed by the loss of a water molecule. Such a linkage between two monosaccharide units through oxygen atom is called glycosidic linkage. In disaccharides, if the reducing groups of monosaccharides i.e., aldehydic or ketonic groups are bonded, these are non-reducing sugars, e.g., sucrose. On the other hand, sugars in which these functional groups are free, are called reducing sugars, for example, maltose and lactose. A non reducing disaccharide 'A on hydrolysis with dilute acid gives an equimolar mixture of D-(+)glucose and D-(+)-Fructose. In the above reaction, reactant 'A' is:

A non reducing disaccharide 'A on hydrolysis with dilute acid gives an equimolar mixture of D-(+)glucose and D-(+)-Fructose. Glucose on reaction with acetic acid gives glucose pentaacetate.
