Topics 5
- Definition and classification: monosaccharides (aldoses, ketoses), oligosaccharides, polysaccharides; reducing and non-reducing sugars; importance
- Glucose: open-chain structure from reactions with HI, hydroxylamine, bromine water, acetic anhydride, nitric acid and phenylhydrazine; cyclic structure; D-L configuration
- Fructose: open-chain and cyclic structures; bromine water test to distinguish glucose and fructose
- Disaccharides: structures of sucrose, maltose and lactose; glycosidic linkage
- Polysaccharides: starch, cellulose and glycogen
