Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Only sucrose is a non-reducing sugar as it does not reduce Tollen’s reagent (due to the absence of −CHO group).
Detailed explanation-2: -Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar because the two monosaccharide units are held together by a glycosidic linkage between C1 of -glucose and C2 of -fructose. Since the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in glycosidic bond formation, sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Stachyose, Sucrose, Verbascose, Trehalose and Raffinose are the five examples of non reducing sugars.
