Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar due to
- A 1-2 linkage
- B 1-4 linkage
- C \(1-5\) linkage
- D 1-6 linkage
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 1-2 linkage
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar due to 1, 2-glycosidic linkage between anomeric carbon atoms. Therefore, there is no free aldehyde or ketone group (reducing of group) as they are involved in glycosidic linkage.
