Chapter 28, Problem 28.71P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The glycosidic linkage in each disaccharide of Problem 28.70 is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Monosaccharide is the simplest form of carbohydrate. It possesses either ketone or aldehyde with one or more than one hydroxyl $\left(\text{OH}\right)$ groups. Disaccharides, trisaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides all involve monosaccharide as subunits.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The glycosidic bond as $\text{α}$ or $\text{β}$ in each disaccharide of Problem 28.70 is to be classified and its location is to be designated using numbers.

Concept introduction: Monosaccharide is the simplest form of carbohydrate. It possesses either ketone or aldehyde with one or more than one hydroxyl $\left(\text{OH}\right)$ groups. Disaccharides, trisaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides all involve monosaccharide as subunits.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation: The given disaccharide in Problem 28.70 is to be classified as reducing or nonreducing sugars.

Concept introduction: Monosaccharide is the simplest form of carbohydrate. It possesses either ketone or aldehyde with one or more than one hydroxyl $\left(\text{OH}\right)$ groups. Disaccharides, trisaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides all involve monosaccharide as subunits.
