Sucrose Synthesis: A Sweet Tale Of Condensation
Sucrose, a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, is produced through the condensation reaction between glucose and fructose. This reaction, known as glycosylation, is facilitated by the enzyme sucrose synthase and involves the formation of a glycosidic bond between the C1 carbon of glucose and the C2 carbon of fructose. The resulting sucrose molecule exhibits … Read more
