  2. Reducing sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reducing_sugar

    Reducing form of glucose (the aldehyde group is on the far right). A reducing sugar is any sugar that is capable of acting as a reducing agent. [1] In an alkaline solution, a reducing sugar forms some aldehyde or ketone, which allows it to act as a reducing agent, for example in Benedict's reagent.

  3. Disaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaccharide

    Sucrose and trehalose are examples of non-reducing disaccharides because their glycosidic bond is between their respective hemiacetal carbon atoms. The reduced chemical reactivity of the non-reducing sugars, in comparison to reducing sugars, may be an advantage where stability in storage is important. [5] [6]

  4. Oligosaccharide nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligosaccharide_nomenclature

    An oligosaccharide has both a reducing and a non-reducing end. The reducing end of an oligosaccharide is the monosaccharide residue with hemiacetal functionality, thereby capable of reducing the Tollens’ reagent, while the non-reducing end is the monosaccharide residue in acetal form, thus incapable of reducing the Tollens’ reagent. [2]

  5. Ketose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketose

    All monosaccharide ketoses are reducing sugars, because they can tautomerize into aldoses via an enediol intermediate, and the resulting aldehyde group can be oxidised, for example in the Tollens' test or Benedict's test. [3] Ketoses that are bound into glycosides, for example in the case of the fructose moiety of sucrose, are nonreducing ...

  6. Armed and disarmed saccharides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_and_disarmed_saccharides

    In these methods, multiple sugars are added to the reaction mixture. One of the sugars is armed as the glycosyl donor, and reacts quickly with a glycosyl acceptor. The non-reducing sugar then acts as a glycosyl acceptor as a protecting group that is easily lost in solution reveals a free hydroxyl group.

  7. Cellobiose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellobiose

    Cellobiose is a disaccharide with the formula (C 6 H 7 (OH) 4 O) 2 O. It is classified as a reducing sugar - any sugar that possesses the ability or function of a reducing agent. The chemical structure of cellobiose is derived from the condensation of a pair of β-glucose molecules forming a β(1→4) bond.

  8. This Common Pantry Item Is 2025’s Flavor of the Year - AOL

    Along with naming brown sugar the 2025 Flavor of the Year, T. Hasegawa’s report predicts other up-and-coming ingredient and flavor trends, along with consumer patterns the company expects to ...

  9. Maillard reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction

    The crusts of most breads, such as this brioche, are golden-brown mostly as a result of the Maillard reaction.. The Maillard reaction (/ m aɪ ˈ j ɑːr / my-YAR; French:) is a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars to create melanoidins, the compounds that give browned food its distinctive flavor.
