Wrire short notes on sucrose .

Explanation

Sucrose is a disaccharide. It under go hydrolysis and forms equimolar mixture of D(+)-glucose and D(-) fructose.
`C_12H_22O_11+H_2O to underset("glucose")(C_6H_12O_6) + underset("fructose")(C_6H_12O_6)`
`to` In sucrose two monosaccharide units are held together by a glycosidic linkage between C-1 of `alpha` - glucose and C-2 of `beta` - glucose
`to` Sucrose is a non reducing sugar.

During the hydrolysis of sucrose there is a change in the sign of rotation , from dextro (+) to leave (-) and the product is named as invert sugar.
