Mutarotation is the change in specific r...

Mutarotation is the change in specific rotation of an optically active compound in solution with time to an equilibrium value. Interconversion is possible only if sugar has anomeric hydroxyl group i.e., sugar is reducing. Diastereomers which differ in configuration of chiral carbon developed in hemiacetal formation are called anomers. Epimers are a pair of stereoisomers which differ in the configuration about one of its chiral carbon
The anomeric carbon in fructose is

A

`C_(1)`
