Study Notes

Monosaccharides

Monosaccharides contain one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom.
Maltose is formed from two α-glucose molecules linked by a glycosidic bond.
Sucrose is formed by the condensation reaction of glucose and fructose.
D-Galactaric acid (Mucic acid) can be formed from D-Galactose through oxidation with nitric acid.

Furfural Test

The furfural test differentiates between pentoses and hexoses.
Pentoses react with concentrated acid and heat, producing vapors that turn aniline acetate paper red.
Hexoses give a negative result for the furfural test.
The reaction of a sugar with phenylhydrazine and HCl produces characteristic ozazone crystals.

Effect of Alkalis

Strong alkalis cause polymerization of carbohydrates.
Weak alkalis lead to isomerization of carbohydrates.
