Why sucrose gives a negative results when subjected to a Benedict's test?

Sagot :

Answer:

Benedicts' test for non-reducing sugars

These reducing sugar are joined by their glycosidic bond in such a way as to prevent the glucose isomerising to aldehyde, or the fructose to alpha-hydroxy-ketone form. Sucrose is thus a non-reducing sugar which does not react with Benedict's reagent.
