Correct answer: D
-
Identify what sucrose is made of
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of:
These two units are linked through an -glycosidic bond.
-
What happens on hydrolysis?
On hydrolysis, sucrose breaks into its constituent monosaccharides:
-
Nature of the products obtained
The hydrolysis products are:
- -D-(+)-Glucose
- -D-(-)-Fructose
-
Check the options
-
A: -D-()-Glucose and -D-()-Fructose
Wrong, because glucose is dextrorotatory, i.e. . -
B: -D-(+)-Glucose and -D-()-Fructose
Wrong, because fructose unit in sucrose is form. -
C: -D-()-Glucose and -D-(+)-Fructose
Wrong, both signs/forms are incorrect. -
D: -D-(+)-Glucose and -D-()-Fructose
Correct.
