Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The following question can be explained by the classification of carbohydrates.

Concept introduction: Carbohydrates are simple derivatives of polyhydroxy aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, acids, and their polymers having acetal type linkage. They may be categorized as monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides contain an aldehyde or a ketone group and it only contains 1 unit. Disaccharides contain an aldehyde or a ketone group and it only contains 2 units of monosaccharides linked together with a glycosidic bond. Polysaccharides contain more than 1 unit of monosaccharide linked together with a glycosidic bond.

Given: Here we are given the Haworth structure of Sophorose which we get from various types of beans and we are asked to find out the whether it is mono-, di-, or polysaccharide. We are also asked to find the monosaccharides and glycosidic link in Sophorose. Also, we need to find α or β-anomer of Sophorose, and whether it is a reducing sugar.
