Question

Sucrose on hydrolysis gives:

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

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}+H_{2}O \to\underset{\text{D(+)Glucose}}{{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}}}+\underset{\text{D(-)fructose}}{{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}}}$
Sucrose contains two monosaccharides i.e., $\alpha-D$ glucose and $\beta-D-$ fructose which are obtained on its hydrolysis
