Question

Maltose is a reducing sugar which gives two moles of D-glucose on hydrolysis Maltose has a$ 1,4-\beta$-glycosidic link-age

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Maltose, a disaccharide $\left( C _{12} H _{22} O _{11}\right)$ is a reducing sugar, which upon hydrolysis yield 2 moles of $D-(+)$-glucose. In it the two $D$-glucose unit are linked through $\alpha$-glycosidic linkage between $C -1$ of one glucose unit and C-4 of the other.
