Study Set Content:
Important ingredient in commercially produced infant formulas
Lactose
lactose Can be hydrolyzed by acid or the enzyme
lactase
nability of the human digestive system to hydrolyze lactose
Lactose intolerance
Glucose + fructose
Sucrose
Sucrose
Also known as table sugar
Sucrose
Most abundant of all disaccharides
Sucrose
It is produced commercially from the juice of sugar cane and sugar beets
Sucrose
Two monosaccharides present are
α-D-glucose and β-D-fructose
Two monosaccharides present are α-D-glucose and β-D-fructose, glycosidic linkage in
α,β-(1,2)
Non-reducing sugar
Sucrose
enzyme needed to break linkage in sucrose
Sucrase
Sucrose hydrolysis (digestion) produces an equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose called
invert sugar
Cellobiose• a disaccharide with the formula
(C₆H₇(OH)₄O)₂O
Cellobiose classified as a
reducing sugar
n terms of its chemical structure, it is derived from the condensation of a pair of
β-glucose molecules forming a βbond
Cellobiose often used as an indicator carbohydrate for intestinal permeability in
Crohn's disease and malabsorption syndrome
forms as a metabolic byproduct of gut flora as they breakdown cellulose
Cellobiose
Sucrose
Maltose
