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 th…
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 rotat…

Chapter 18, Problem 18.27QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chiral carbon has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

The chiral center is that atom that is linked to four different groups. The presence of the chiral center leads to the formation of non-superimposable mirror images. To identify whether a given center is chiral or not one has to check for the presence of four different substituents.

If any of the two substituents happen to be similar, then that center is known as achiral.
