Both glucose and fructose can be oxidized by Tollen's reagent and Fehling's solution despite the presence of a keto group in Fructose. Strong oxidizing agents like conc. HNO 3. oxidizes glucose to a dibasic acid. Fructose under similar conditions is also oxidized. All carbohydrates are quantitatively oxidized by lead tetraacetate or periodic acid. This reaction is used to elucidate the structure of carbohydrates. Both glucose and fructose can be reduced by red P / HI, LialH 4, Clemmensen and Wolff - Kishner reduction. Number of moles of lead tetraacetate required to oxidize 100 ml of 0.1 M fructose solution are
