Sucrose, made up of reducing sugars like glucose and fructose, is a non reducing sugar. why?

• Because neither the aldehyde group of glucose nor the ketone group of fructose is free in sucrose.

• Because the glycosidic bond is between the first carbon of glucose and second carbon of fructose in sucrose..

• Because the glycosidic bond is between the aldehyde group of glucose and ketone group of fructose in sucrose.

  .

• Because sucrose is a sweet sugar.
