    Study Notes

    Disaccharides and Fermentation

    • Disaccharides, like sucrose and lactose, need to be broken down into monosaccharides before fermentation can occur.
    • This breakdown happens through hydrolysis, where a water molecule is added to the disaccharide.
    • Sucrose hydrolysis produces glucose and fructose.
    • Lactose hydrolysis produces glucose and galactose.
    • Enzymes sucrase and lactase act as catalysts for sucrose and lactose hydrolysis, respectively.

    Monosaccharide Fermentation

    • Monosaccharides like glucose, fructose, and galactose all have the molecular formula C6H12O6.
    • These monosaccharides ferment using yeast to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide.

    Solubility Test

    • Oil is miscible in chloroform but immiscible in ethanol and water.
    • This follows the principle of "like dissolves like," where substances with similar polarities are more likely to mix.

    Grease-Spot Test

    • Water is absorbed by paper, while oil forms a translucent spot.

    Acrolein Test

    • Indicates the presence of glycerol, a component of fats and oils.
    • Glycerol is dehydrated to form acrolein (acrylic aldehyde) with a characteristic burned copra odor when heated with KHSO4 (catalyst).

    Sterol Test

    • Sterols are hydroxyl derivatives of steroids (cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene).

    Molish Test

    • Detects carbohydrates by forming a violet ring when an acidic solution reacts with carbohydrates.
    • This color is due to the interaction of the aldehyde with alpha-naphthol.
    • Glucose, maltose, and starch all test positive for this reaction.

    Benedict's Test

    • Detects reducing sugars like glucose, fructose, and maltose.
    • It uses copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) which is reduced to red copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) by aldehydes, oxidizing them to carboxylic acids.
    • The copper(I) oxide forms a brick red precipitate.
    • Glucose, fructose, and galactose all test positive for this reaction.

    Osazone Formation

    • When a reducing sugar is heated with phenylhydrazine, a yellow precipitate called osazones is formed.
    • Osazones are used to compare the structures of sugars due to their unique crystalline forms.
    • The osazones of monosaccharides (glucose & fructose) form quickly and have similar needle-shaped crystals under the microscope.
    • Disaccharides (maltose & lactose) form osazones more slowly and have distinct crystal shapes under the microscope.

    Hydrolysis of Starch and Glycogen

    • Iodine test for polysaccharides: iodine dissolved in an aqueous solution of potassium iodide (IKI) reacts with starch producing a deep blue-black color.
    • Starch and glycogen both react with IKI to produce blue-black color.
    • The degree of blue-black color is also dependent on the length of the chains of the polysaccharide molecules.

    Fermentation of Sugars

    • Sugar fermentation using yeast results in the production of ethanol and carbon dioxide.
    • The fermentation of sucrose produces 4 molecules of ethanol and 4 molecules of carbon dioxide.
    • Lactose is also C12H22O11 but the atoms are arranged differently.
