CBSE: Class 12

Key Points: Sucrose

  • Disaccharide of α-D-glucose + β-D-fructose linked by α-1,2-glycosidic bond (C1 of glucose + C2 of fructose)
  • Since both anomeric carbons are involved in the bond → non-reducing sugar
  • Hydrolysis (acid/enzyme invertase): Sucrose → 1 glucose + 1 fructose
  • Dextrorotatory (+) but the product (invert sugar) is levorotatory (–)
