Find the hydrolysis product of maltose :

A$$\alpha-D-glucose + \alpha-D-glucose$$
Correct Answer
B$$\alpha-D-glucose + \alpha-D-fructose$$
C$$\alpha-D-glucose + \alpha-D-galactose$$
D$$\alpha-D-fructose + \alpha-D-galactose$$

Solution

$$\underset {Maltose}{C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}+H_{2}O} \underset {\underset {maltose}{or}}{\xrightarrow {H^{+}}}\underset {Glucose}{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}} + \underset {Glucose}{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}}$$
