Concept explainers

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of th…
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotat…

Chapter 16, Problem 28P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A reasonable structure for the sulfur-containing amino acid cystine is to be suggested and the structures of cysteine sulfinic acid and cysteic acid are to be shown.

Concept Introduction:

Oxidation is also be defined as loss of one or more hydrogen atoms in the structure of a compound.

Oxidation can also be defined as a gain of one or more oxygen atoms.

Amino acids containing sulfur undergo oxidation by dimerization through the sulfur atoms.

A disulfide compounds results through such an oxidation. A bond is formed between two sulfur atoms by the loss of the hydrogens attached to these sulfur atoms.
