NEET 2020 · ChemistryCarbohydratesPrevious Year Question

Sucrose on hydrolysis gives:

Answer: (A) α-D-Glucose + β-D-Fructose. \textbf{Answer:} (A) Sucrose hydrolyses to α-D-glucose and β-D-fructose.

  1. A.α-D-Glucose + β-D-Fructose
  2. B.α-D-Fructose + β-D-Fructose
  3. C.β-D-Glucose + α-D-Fructose
  4. D.α-D-Glucose + β-D-Glucose

Correct Answer

(A) α-D-Glucose + β-D-Fructose

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (A) Sucrose hydrolyses to α-D-glucose and β-D-fructose. \textbf{Solution:} Sucrose is a non-reducing disaccharide in which the anomeric carbons of α-D-glucose and β-D-fructose are joined by an α,β-glycosidic linkage. On hydrolysis (inversion of cane sugar), this linkage is cleaved to give an equimolar mixture of α-D-glucose and β-D-fructose . Hence option A is correct.
