One portion of a sucrose solution is tested for reducing sugars and stays blue, but when a separate portion of the same solution is tested for non-reducing sugars the solution turns red. What accounts for these observations?
- ADuring the non-reducing sugar test, an acid hydrolyses sucrose to glucose and fructose.
- BDuring the non-reducing sugar test, sucrose molecules condense into polysaccharides.
- CThe reducing sugar test converts sucrose into glucose and fructose.
- DThe reducing sugar test hydrolyses monosaccharides to disaccharides.
