Olestra has been used in certain snack foods as an alternative to fats and oils. Its structure consists of a sucrose molecule in which all free hydroxyl groups have formed esters with oleic acid (an 18-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid). Olestra molecules have no caloric value because they are exceptionally large and cannot be digested. Draw the structure of olestra. Use R-COOH as an abbreviation for oleic acid.
Organic polymers have a similar composition to that of common carbohydrates (predominantly composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms). By principle, some carbohydrates readily react with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor, explain why this principle doesn’t spontaneously work on organic polymer wastes such as Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and Polystyrene (PS)?
Sorbitol is a sweetener often substituted for cane sugar, because it is better tolerated by diabetics. It is also an intermediate in the commercial synthesis of vitamin C. Sorbitol is prepared by high-pressure hydrogenation of glucose over a nickel catalyst. What is the structure (including stereochemistry) of sorbitol?

A polysaccharide is found in the shells of arthropods (e.g.,lobsters and grasshoppers) and of mollusks (e.g., oysters andsnails). It can be obtained from these sources by soaking theshells in cold dilute hydrochloric acid to dissolve the calciumcarbonate. The threadlike substance formed is composed oflinear long-chain molecules. Hydrolysis with boiling acidgives d-glucosamine and acetic acid in equimolar amounts.Milder enzymatic hydrolysis gives N-acetyl-d-glucosamineas the sole product. The polysaccharide’s linkages are identical to those of cellulose. What is the structure of thispolymer?
