Sentences with DISACCHARIDES (5)
DISACCHARIDES The disaccharides, having the formula C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}, may be regarded as derived from the monosaccharides by the linking together of two hexose groups with the dropping out of a molecule of water, in the same way that many other organic compounds form such linkages.
With all known disaccharides, at least one of the hexoses obtained by hydrolysis is glucose; hence all disaccharides may be regarded as glucosides (C_{6}H_{12}O_{5}·R) in which the R is another hexose group.
Disaccharides linked in either of the first two ways will be reducing sugars, since they still contain a potentially active aldehyde group; but those of the third type will not be reducing sugars, since the linkage through the aldehyde groups destroys their power of acting as reducing agents.
Examples of each of these three types of linkage are found among the common disaccharides, as will be pointed out below.
The disaccharides of Type 2, since they contain no potentially active aldehyde group, do not reduce Fehling's solution, nor form osazones; neither do they exhibit mutarotation.
