Wikipedia
Ketose
A ketose is a monosaccharide containing one ketone group per molecule. The simplest ketose is dihydroxyacetone, which has only three carbon atoms. It is the only ketose with no optical activity. All monosaccharide ketoses are reducing sugars, because they can tautomerize into aldoses via an enediol intermediate, and the resulting aldehyde group can be oxidised, for example in the Tollens' test or Benedict's test. Ketoses that are bound into glycosides, for example in the case of the fructose moiety of sucrose, are nonreducing sugars.

ketose
A ketose is a type of simple sugar (monosaccharide) that contains a ketone group (-C=O) in its chemical structure. It is differentiated from an aldose (another type of monosaccharide), which has an aldehyde group (-CH=O) instead. Examples of ketoses include fructose, ribulose, and psicose.

Ketose
A ketose is a sugar containing one ketone group per molecule. With three carbon atoms, dihydroxyacetone is the simplest of all ketoses and is the only one having no optical activity. Ketoses can isomerize into an aldose when the carbonyl group is located at the end of the molecule. Such ketoses are reducing sugars.
