Which from following carbohydrates produces glucose, galactose and fructose on hydrolysis?
Options
- AMaltose
- BRaffinose
- CCellulose
- DLactose
Correct answer
B. Raffinose
Step-by-step solution
Raffinose hydrolyzes to yield glucose, galactose, and fructose. As a trisaccharide, its hydrolysis reaction is Raffinose + 2 H ₂ O Glucose + Galactose + Fructose . Maltose gives only glucose: Maltose + H ₂ O 2 Glucose . Cellulose produces glucose monomers: ( C ₆ H ₁₀ O ₅)_n + n H ₂ O n Glucose . Lactose yields glucose and galactose: Lactose + H ₂ O Glucose + Galactose .
