Lactose is a reducing sugar because it has a free anomeric carbon on the glucose unit.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry > Chapter 14: Biomolecules > Topic: Carbohydrates - Disaccharides and Glycosidic Linkage
Sucrose has a glycosidic bond between the anomeric carbon of glucose (C1) and fructose (C2), making it a non-reducing sugar.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry > Chapter 14: Biomolecules > Topic: Carbohydrates - Disaccharides and Glycosidic Linkage
A non-reducing sugar has no free aldehyde or ketone group. Sucrose has its reducing groups involved in a glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose, making it non-reducing.

Sucrose, upon hydrolysis, yields glucose and fructose, catalyzed by invertase or acid.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry > Chapter 14: Biomolecules > Topic: Carbohydrates - Disaccharides and Glycosidic Linkage
Maltose consists of two glucose units linked by a glycosidic bond from C1 of one glucose to C4 of the other.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry > Chapter 14: Biomolecules > Topic: Carbohydrates - Disaccharides and Glycosidic Linkage
Lactose, a disaccharide, hydrolyzes into glucose and galactose, catalyzed by the enzyme lactase.
