Glucose is a reducing sugar, therefore we have a clear solution with methylene blue in reduced state.
With a 1, 4 glycosidic linkage, the sugar is still a reducing sugar, therefore we have a clear solution with methylene blue in reduced state.
With a 1,1 glycosidic linkage, the sugar is non-reducing, therefore we have a blue solution with methylene blue in oxidized state.
