Q18 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry

Glycosidic linkage between C1 of α-glucose and C2 of β-fructose is found in

  • A
    Maltose
  • Correct answer
    B

    Sucrose

     

  • C
    Lactose
  • D
    amylose

Solution

Sucrose

Figure

Sucrose is composed of a molecule of glucose joined to a molecule of fructose by an α-1, β-2-gIycosidic linkage.

 

Mannose is a sugar monomer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates. It is a C-2 epimer of glucose.

Fructose, or fruit sugar, is a ketonic simple sugar found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose.

Lactose is composed of a molecule of galactose joined to a molecule of glucose by a β-1, 4-gIycosidic linkage. It is a reducing sugar that is found in milk.

 

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