Question

Hydrolysis of sucrose gives :

• A. $\alpha$-D(+)Glucose and $\alpha$-D(-)Fructose
• B. $\alpha$-D(+)Glucose and $\beta$-D(-)Fructose
• C. $\alpha$-D(-)Glucose and $\beta$-D(-)Fructose
• D. $\alpha$-D(-)Glucose and $\alpha$-D(-)Fructose

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\alpha$-D(+)Glucose and $\beta$-D(-)Fructose

Sucrose is a disaccharide and undergo hydrolysis and produce glucose and fructose units.

Sucrose is formed by glycosidic linkage of $C_1$ of $\alpha$-D-(+)-glucose and $C_2$ of $\beta$-D-(-)-fructose.


Hence, option (d) is correct.
