Three pentose sugars
ribose
deoxyribose
ribitol
What is special about sugar alcohols (structure)
two alcohol groups
what is special about sugar alcohols (metabolism)
low calorie
three dietary monosaccarides
glucose
galactose
fructose
beta anomers have this
OH on the same side of the ring
alpha anomers have OH group in this position
down (axial)
beta anomers have OH group in this position
up (equitorial)
OH group of this mono is on the right side of the stick drawing
glucose
OH group of this mono is on the left side of the stick drawing
galactose
The aldehyde group of this mono is on the second carbon
fructose
This is formed between the hemiacetal group of a saccharide and the hydroxyl group of the same compount
glycosidic linkage
a substance containing a glycosidic bon is this
glycoside
This Di has an alpha 1-4 glycosidic bon
maltose
this di has a beta 1-4 glycosidic bond
lactose
this di has an alpha 1-2 glycosidic bond
sucrose
this di is found in fungi and plants
trehalose
glucose bound to galactose
lactose
glucose bound to fructose
sucrose
glucose bound to glucose
maltose and trehalose
when a sugar has an open chain form with an aldehyde group it is classified as this
reducing sugar
this can be oxidized via a redox reation in which another compound is reduced
aldehyde of a reducing sugar
only non reducing sugar covered in class
sucrose
examples of oligo saccharides (3)
raffinose
stachyose
verbascose
foods containing alot of oligo saccharides
beans
peas
bran
whole grains
