Glycosidic linkage between $C_1$ of $\alpha$-glucose and $C_2$ of $\beta$-fructose is found in

  • A
    maltose
  • Correct answer
    B
    sucrose
  • C
    lactose
  • D
    amylose

Solution

- Maltose is composed of two glucose units. - Sucrose has glycosidic linkage between $\mathrm{C}_1$ of $\alpha$-glucose and $C_2$ of $\beta$-fructose. - Lactose is composed of galactose and glucose - Amylose has glycosidic linkage between $C_1$ of $\alpha$-glucose $C_4$ of $\alpha$-glucose.

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