Other disaccharides such as sucrose are non-reducing sugars and will not react with Benedict's solution. Starches are also non-reducing sugars. The copper sulfate (CuSO4) present in Benedict's solution reacts with electrons from the aldehyde or ketone group of the reducing sugar to form cuprous oxide (Cu2O),
