Which from following on hydrolysis forms invert sugar?
Options
- ASucrose
- BMaltose
- CStarch
- DLactose
Correct answer
A. Sucrose
Step-by-step solution
The hydrolysis of sucrose yields an equimolar mixture of D-(+)-glucose and D-(-)-fructose, known as invert sugar due to the inversion of optical rotation from positive (sucrose) to negative (fructose). The reaction proceeds as: Sucrose + H ₂ O H ^+ or invertase D-(+)-Glucose + D-(-)-Fructose . This confirms that sucrose hydrolysis produces invert sugar. The correct identification is A .
