Glucose is a Biomolecule which doesn’t have any alddehyde groups as the shiff’s reagent is used to reduce the simply aldehyde groups. The other erason is that due to the very bulky size of te sulphate ion.

Aldehyde group in D - glucose is not completely free, it is involved in acetal formation with the hydroxyl group at C-5 to give cyclic structure to it, and all you know that sodium bisulphate works well in Aldehyde it is used to purify Aldehyde.
