The Fehling's and the Benedict's Test are the just two of
the many tests conducted in identifying reducing and non-
reducing sugars. Reducing sugars like the monosaccharides
can reduce cupric hydroxide from the reagents used.
This is because the reducing sugars have a free oH group at
their anomeric carbon that can cause the reduction of mild
oxidizing agents like fehling and benedict solution.In non
reducing sugars this oH is involved in glycosidic bond
formation.
