Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given compound is a reducing sugar or not is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Sugars that can reduce oxidising agents like Tollens reagent are known as reducing sugars. Sugars in which formation of acetals take place are called glycosides and their name end with the suffix “oside”. Glycosides are non reducing sugars. In reducing sugar there is the formation of hemiacetal and the name end with suffix “ose”.
(b)
Interpretation:
The given compound is a reducing sugar or not is to be stated.

- Which compound will give a deep blue-black colored solution when treated with iodine? A. starch B. D-glucitol sucrose C. D-fructose D. D-galactose 1. Seliwanoff's tests is used to distinguish a monosaccharide from a disaccharide. A. a reducing sugar from a nonreducing sugar. B. a ketose from an aldose. C. a monosaccharide from a polysaccharide. D. a polysaccharide from a disaccharide.arrow_forwardshow the glycosidic linkage of b-D-galactose and b-D-galactose (show drawing)arrow_forwardFehlings Test: Reagent’s Composition Observations: Test Sample Observations Water Glucose Fructose Sucrose Starch Inferences: What is the principle behind this test?

- Explain the following briefly. a. Can Seliwanoff’s test be used to differentiate sucrose from fructose? b. Explain how starch works as an antidote for iodine poisoning.arrow_forwardWhy are these diasteromers?arrow_forwardi would like to ask the following questions: 1. Aside from the reagent and the positive results, what is the difference between Fehling’s Test, Moore’s test and Benedict’s Test if they are all used to detect the presence of reducing sugar?2. In Benedict’s Test, why are there different colors? Why not just one color in varying shades?3. Why is sucrose not a reducing sugar even though most disaccharides are reducing sugars?arrow_forward
- Cellulose is treated with methanol, which methylates the reducing end of polysaccharides. (a) How many methyl groups would be incorporated per cellulose chain? Explain. (b) Relative to cellulose, how many methyl groups would be incorporated in a molecule of amylopectin? (more, less or the same?) Explain. (c) Cellulose is treated with dimethyl sylfate, which adds a methyl group to all free hydroxyl groups. The cellulose is then hydrolyzed to release all of its monosacharides. Draw the structure of the resulting monosaccharidearrow_forwardFructose in its bβ - D - pyranose form accounts for the powerful sweetness of honey. The β - D - furanose form, although sweet, is not as sweet as the pyranose form. The furanose form is the more stable form. Draw the two forms and explain why it may not always be wise to cook with honey.arrow_forwardA reddish color is obtained when compound A (a disaccharide) is reacted with Benedict solution.
