Sucrose on hydrolysis gives:

A

`alpha`-D-Glucose `+beta-D`-Glucose

B

`alpha` -D-Glucose `+beta`-D-Fructose

C

`alpha`-D-Fructose `+beta`-D-Fructose

D

`beta`-D-Glucose `+alpha`-D-Fructose

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Sucrose is composed of one mole of `alpha`-D-glucose and `beta`-D fructose, connected by glycosidic linkage at 1 and 4 carbon atoms of glucose and fructose respectively
When sucrose is hydrolysed by HCl in alcoholic medium, mixture of `alpha`- D-glucose and `beta`-D-fructose is obtained.
Sucrose `overset("hydrolysis")toalpha` -D-Glucose `+beta`-D-Fructose

Assertion : A solution of sucrose in water is dextrorotatory. But on hydrolysis in the presence of a little hydrochloric acid, it becomes laevaorotatory. Reason : Sucrose on hydrolysis gives unequal amounts of glucose and fructose. As a result of this, change in sign of rotation is observed.

Sucrose on hydrolysis yields a mixture which is.
