Which is more stable among alpha-D- glucose and beta-D- glucose? Why?

(A) alpha -D (+) Glucose and beta-D(+) - Glucose are enantiomers. (R) alpha-D(+) Glucose and beta-D(+) - Glucose are mirror images.

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.
