Vedclass · Answer

(C) Mutarotation is a property exhibited by reducing sugars that have a free hemiacetal or hemiketal group,allowing them to exist in equilibrium between their $\alpha$ and $\beta$ anomeric forms in solution.Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar because the glycosidic linkage is formed between the anomeric carbons of both glucose and fructose ($C_1$ of glucose and $C_2$ of fructose).Since there is no free hemiacetal or hemiketal group available,sucrose cannot undergo mutarotation.Therefore,the correct option is $(C)$.

Sucrose	Ribose	Maltose	Lactose	Cellulose
$1$	$2$	$3$	$4$	$5$

Which of the following compounds does not exhibit mutarotation?
