[2020]
(a) $\alpha$-D-Glucose $+\beta$-D-Glucose
(b) $\alpha$-D-Glucose $+\beta$-D-Fructose
(c) $\alpha$-D-Fructose $+\beta$-D-Fructose
(d) $\alpha$-D-Glucose $+\beta$-D-Fructose
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) Sucrose $\xrightarrow{\text{ Hydrolysis }} \alpha$-D-Glucose + $\beta$-D-Fructose
Sucrose on hydrolysis brings about a change in the sign of rotation from dextro to laevo and the product is called as invert sugar.
