<P> All monosaccharides are reducing sugars because all monosaccharides have an aldehyde group ( if they are aldoses ) or can tautomerize in solution to form an aldehyde group ( if they are ketoses ) . This includes common monosaccharides like galactose , glucose , glyceraldehyde , fructose , ribose , and xylose . </P>
