Answer:-
- Sugar is considered a reducing sugar when it contains a hydroxyl group which acts as a reducing agent and reduces their agent.
- The very common monosaccharides such as glucose-fructose galactose are considered to reduce sugar due to a hydroxyl group which makes it a good reducing agent.
- Glucose belongs to the category of monosaccharides, and glucose molecules contain a hydroxide group which makes it a good reducing agent, which is the opposite case of non-reducing sugar which does not contain a hydroxyl group that will make it reduction effective.
- The reducing sugars act like a reducing agent in normal conditions.
