Study Notes
Monosaccharides in Mammals
- Most monosaccharides found in mammals are in the D-form.
- The D and L forms do not relate to the direction of plane-polarized light rotation.
General Properties of Monosaccharides
- Monosaccharides contain either an aldehyde (-CHO) group in aldoses or a ketone (-C=O) group in ketoses.
- They react with water to form unstable aldehyde hydrates.
- Monosaccharides form rings between C1 and C5 (pyranose) or C2 and C5 (furanose).
Fehling and Benedict Tests
- These tests are used to detect glucosuria.
- They are non-specific and can be reduced by all monosaccharides and other reducing substances like vitamin C and Aspirin.
Ozazone Formation
- Monosaccharides react with phenyl hydrazine (NH2NHC6H5) to form crystalline products called "Ozazone".
Inositol
- Inositol is the sugar alcohol of cyclohexane.
- It is a member of the vitamin B-complex.
- It is part of the structure of lipositol (phospholipids found in all tissues).
