    Which one of the following carbohydrate gives equimolar mixture of D-(+)-glucose and D-(-)-fructose on hydrolysis?

    A)  Maltose           

    B)  Lactose

    C)  Amylose           

    D)  Sucrose

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     On hydrolysis with dilute acids or in vertase or sucrase, sucrose gives an equimolar mixture of D- (+)-glucose and D-(-) -fructose. \[\underset{\left( bp\text{ }{{103}^{o}}C \right)}{\mathop{Pentan-1-al}}\,\] \[{{[a]}_{D}}=+{{66.5}^{o}}\]\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  D-\left( + \right)-glucose \\  {{[a]}_{D}}\text{ }=+{{52.7}^{o}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,+\,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  D-\left( - \right)-fmctose \\  [a]J)=-{{92.4}^{o}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}}}\,\]
