Solution
The correct option is C Inulin
Starch is formed by a-1,4 linkages between two glucose unit which is broken down during its digestion.
Animal cells store food in the form of glycogen. It is formed by linkage of glucose molecule in a linear chain with 1,4 alpha linkage and alpha 1,6 side linkage.
Inulin is considered as homoploymer of fructose. It is typically formed in roots and rhizomes. Raffinose is a trisaccharide which is made up of galactose, glucose, and fructose. The enzyme α-galactosidase hydrolyses the raffinose to D-galactose and sucrose. Beans, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus are some important source of raffinose.
So, the correct answer is option C.
