Propose the plausible β structure of the disaccharide that contains two cyclic D-galactose sugars that are linked via the β-1,4 glycosidic bond. Explain why this disaccharide is a reducing sugar, while the sugar below is not reducing sugar.
Explain why cellobiose and lactose are considered reducing disaccharides, whereas the disaccharide trehalose is considered non-reducing.
Sucrose, a common disaccharide found in plants, can undergo hydrolysis. What monosaccharides would you obtain from this reaction?
