Why sucrose is a non-reducing sugar?

Answer: Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar since it does not dissolve in water.

• A glycosidic connection between C1 of -glucose and C2 of -fructose holds the two monosaccharide molecules together. Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar since the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in the creation of glycosidic bonds

Both monosaccharide anomeric carbons are implicated in glycoside or acetal production. As a result, it lacks a free -CHO group.
