The Osazone test is typically used to identify reducing sugars based on the formation of crystalline derivatives known as osazones. However, sucrose is a non-reducing sugar (it does not have a free aldehyde or ketone group in its structure under normal conditions), and therefore, it does not form osazones directly when subjected to this test. … Read more
