Explanation In Haworth projection, the carbohydrates are in two forms which are said to be α-form and β-form. In α-form, the –OH group is located on opposite side to the terminal –CH 2 OH group. In β-form, the –OH group is located on t

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…

Question

Chapter 25, Problem 25.22P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The phenomenon of mutarotation with reference to carbohydrates has to be explained. The detection of mutarotation has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

When carbohydrates are dissolved in water, the specific rotation of the anomeric forms are interconverted (α-form to β-form) and attains equilibrium. This interconversion of the anomers is said to be mutarotation.
