Sucrose facts

Sucrose is a disaccharide made of one glucose unit joined to one fructose unit, and it forms sweet, white crystals.
It is extracted commercially from sugarcane and sugar beets and is the ordinary table sugar used in cooking and baking.
Sucrose is not a reducing sugar, so unlike glucose it gives a negative result in Benedict's test unless it is first broken down.
