Statement 1: Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.Statement 2: It has glycosidic linkage.

Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar as it does not reduce Tollen's or Fehling's reagent, due to absence of free aldehyde or ketone group. It contains stable acetal or ketal structurewhich cannot be opened into a free carboxyl group. sugar is composed of α-D-glucopyranose unit and β-D-fructofuranose unit. These units are joined by β -glycosidic linkage between C-1 of the glucose unit and C-2 of the fructose unit.
