Which of the following statements is not true about sucrose?

Options

  1. AIt is also named as invert sugar.
  2. BIt is a non-reducing sugar.
  3. CThe glycosidic linkage is present Between C 1 of α -glucose and C 1 of β -fructose.
  4. DOn hydrolysis, it produces glucose and fructose.

Correct answer

C. The glycosidic linkage is present Between C 1 of α -glucose and C 1 of β -fructose.

Step-by-step solution

Sucrose is a disaccharide which is formed due to glycosidic linkage between C 1 of α - glucose and C 2 of β - fructose. Sucrose also named as invert sugar, and it is a non-reducing sugar.
