Which from following carbohydrates produces double quantity of glucose on hydrolysis per mole as compared with sucrose?

Step-by-step solution

Sucrose undergoes hydrolysis to produce one mole of glucose per mole of sucrose: Sucrose + H ₂ O Glucose + Fructose . Evaluating the options: Lactose yields one glucose: Lactose + H ₂ O Glucose + Galactose . Raffinose yields one glucose: Raffinose + 2 H ₂ O Glucose + Fructose + Galactose . Stachyose yields one glucose: Stachyose + 3 H ₂ O 2 Galactose + Glucose + Fructose . Maltose yields two glucose: Maltose + H ₂ O Glucose + Glucose . Maltose provides double the glucose per mole compared to sucrose. Answer: D
