Chapter 26.7, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The O atoms that are part of a glycoside in rebaudioside A are to be labeled.

Concept introduction: The characteristic bond of glycoside is O. A hemiacetal converts into acetal when a monosaccharide is treated with alcohol and HCl. The acetal formed is known as glycoside.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The aglycon and monosaccharides formed by the hydrolysis of rebaudioside A are to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The characteristic bond of glycoside is O. A hemiacetal converts into acetal when a monosaccharide is treated with alcohol and HCl. The acetal formed is known as glycoside.
