12. LACTULOSE
• O-α –D Galactopyranosyl (1-4 )-β-D Fructopyranosyl
•SOURCES
• Heated Milk , synthetically produced .
• Can not be hydrolyzed by intestinal enzymes .
• Fermentation by intestinal bacteria .
•USES
• Mild Diuretic /osmotic laxative .
13. SUCROSE (TABLE SUGAR )
• O α -D –Glucopyranosyl (1-2) β- D- fructofuranose
sources
• Cane ,beetroot,sorgham,fruits & vegetables.
• Non reducing sugar ,
• Does not form Osazone crystals.
• Does not exhibit muta rotation .
• Dextro rotatory sugar ( + 66.5 )
• On hydrolysis it becomes strongly Levorotatory (- 28.2)
14.
15. • INVERT SUGAR
• Hydrolytic products of Sucrose are called invert sugars.
• Sucrose hydrolysis by Sucrase/ dilute acids liberates one
molecule each of α D- Glucopyranose & β –D
Fructofuranose.
• β D- Fructofuranose form is unstable & immediately gets
converted to β –D Fructopyranose form, which is
strongly Levorotatory ( -92 )
• Overall effect is INVERSION of dextro rotatory Sucrose
(+66.5) to Levorotatory.( - 22.8)
• Invert sugars are 33% more sweet than Sucrose i.e. Honey
17. OLIGO SACCHARIDES
• 3-10 carbohydrate units.
• Components of integral membrane proteins,
present on their extra cellular domain.
• Mostly contain Mannose /Sialic acid residues.
• Help in degradation of these integral proteins.
• EXAMPLES
• Glycoproteins
• Antibodies
• Coagulation factors
