Verified by Toppr
Glucose is a reducing sugar whereas cane sugar is a non-reducing sugar.
Glucose does not have any glycosidic linkage so it can be reduced by Fehling's reagent, but cane sugar has a glycosidic linkage and due to the absence of free −CHO group, it cannot be reduced.
So, Fehling's solution can be used to distinguish between these two.
