The β and α-glucose have different rotations. When either is dissolved in water, their rotation changes until the same fixed values results. This is called mutarotation. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/13ac4129cd3a66892fa395fb2821c52c-.png" />
