Solution
The correct option is D
The explanation for correct option:
Option (d)
- Maltose is a disaccharide made up of two alpha D glucose units, with the C1 of the first unit bound to the C4 of the second.
- The bond that joined two alpha glucose units is called alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.
- Maltose is a reducing sugar. It tastes sweet but is only 30-60% as sweet as sugar.
- It is used in the malting of barley for the manufacturing of beer and in beer production.
Therefore, Option (d) is correct answer.
