Q88 / 180 · AIIMS 2011 · Chemistry

Find the hydrolysis product of maltose.

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\alpha$-D-glucose $+\alpha$-D-glucose
  • B
    $\alpha$-D-glucose $+\alpha-\mathrm{D}$-fructose
  • C
    $\alpha-\mathrm{D}-g$ glucose $+\alpha-\mathrm{D}$-galactose
  • D
    $\alpha-\mathrm{D}-$ fructose $+\alpha-\mathrm{D}-$ galactose

Solution

$\mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{22} \mathrm{O}_{11}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \underset{\text { or }}{\stackrel{\mathrm{H}^{+}}{\longrightarrow}} \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6+\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6$ Maltose maltase Glucose Glucose

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
