The diagram presented represents hydrolysis of sucrose.
What is hydrolysis of sucrose?
The hydrolysis of sucrose generates an equimolar mixture of fructose and glucose, commercially known as invert sugar.
Sucrose is a disaccharide with the formula C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.
On hydrolysis, Sucrose yields the two monosaccharides, namely;
- glucose (aldohexose) and
- fructose (ketohexose),
However, on dehydration Sucrose produces a complex carbonaceous solid residue.
