Testing for non-reducing sugars requires hydrolysis with acid, neutralization, and then proceeding with the Benedict's test.
To test for non-reducing sugars, first hydrolyze them by heating with acid (HCl), then neutralize with sodium hydrogen carbonate, and finally perform the Benedict's test for reducing sugars.
