Vedclass · Answer

(A) Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two $D$-glucose units linked by an $\alpha$-glycosidic linkage between $C_1$ of one glucose unit and $C_4$ of another.Upon hydrolysis with dilute acid (like $HCl$),the glycosidic bond is broken,yielding two molecules of $D$-glucose.The reaction is: $	ext{Maltose} + H_2O \xrightarrow{H^+} 2 	ext{ } D	ext{-glucose}$.
