oligo
Sucrose made of
Glucose + Fructose
C1 of alpha D glucose and C2 of beta D fructose
Maltose made of
C1 of alpha D glucose and C4 of alpha D glucose
Lactose of
C1 of beta D galactose and C4 of beta D glucose
Reducing
All monosacharides, maltose, lactose
Non reducing
Sucrose
Tollens and fehlings reagent and glucose
Glucose is an aldehyde
Thus +ve tollens and fehlings test
Gets oxidised to acid(gluconic acid)
Fruictose with tollens and fehlings
reacts with both due to alpha hydroxy ketone
Glucose with Na(Hg)/C2H5OH
every carbon now has alcohol
