Analyze the structure below. CHO H HO HO OH H H HOH CH OH Is it a keto, aldose? Hexose, pentose triose? How many chiral centers this structure has? is it a D or L sugar? What are the functional groups on the sugar below? What is the enantiomer for this structure? Draw it next to the structure above. What is the difference between aipha D sugar and a L sugar? Hint where are the OH groups located in the ring? What are the monosaccharides of fructose, lactose and maltose? When lactose is hydrolyzed by an acid what are the units formed?
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of the α- and β- glucose anomers upon its dissolution in the solvent water. This process is usually seen in the chemistry of carbohydrates.
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotating the polarized light’s plane in the direction anticlockwise. L isomers are one of the 2 isomers formed by the configurational stereochemistry of the carbohydrates.

If aldehyde group is present in sugar then Aldose
If ketone group is present in sugar then ketose
If contain three carbon - triose
Four carbon - tetrose
Five carbon - pentose
Six carbon - hexose
If the OH group at the lowest asymmetric carbon atom is on the right side then D-sugar, if on the left side then L-sugar
D and L sugars are Enantiomers
Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images to each other.
Disaccharides on hydrolysis give monosaccharides.
