Question

define invert sugar and glycosidic linkage

Answer 1

Hydrolysis of sucrose brings about a change in the sign of rotation from Dextro(+) to laeve (-) and the product is named as invert sugar.


The linkage between two monosaccharides units through oxygen atom is called glycosidic linkage

Answer 2

Hey !!

INVERT SUGAR

Sucrose is dextrorotatory (+66.5°) but after hydrolysis it gives an eqimolar mixture of D-(+)- glucose and D-(-)- fructose, which is laevorotatory. This change of specific rotation from dextrorotation to levorotation is called inversion of sugar and the mixture obtained is called invert sugar.

GLYCOSIDIC LINKAGE

The linkage between two monosaccharides through oxygen atom in an oliigosaccharide or a polysaccharide is known as glycosidic linkage.
