Best Answer

Trehalose is a non-reducing sugar because of the orientation of the second glucose molecule. This orientation places this glucose's anomeric, or "first" carbon directly in the 1,1-glycosidic bond. Because it is preoccupied, or "busy", it does not have any capabilities as a reducing sugar in oxidation-reduction reactions.
