Sucrose (Invert Sugar)

Linkage:

$$\alpha\text{-D-Glucose } (1 \to 2) \; \beta\text{-D-Fructose}$$

glycosidic linkage.

Inversion of Cane Sugar: Dextrorotatory sucrose ($$+66.5^\circ$$) on hydrolysis yields an equimolar mixture of D-glucose ($$+52.5^\circ$$) and L-fructose ($$-92.4^\circ$$), turning the overall mixture levorotatory ($$-19.95^\circ$$).

$$\text{C}_{12}\text{H}_{22}\text{O}_{11} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \xrightarrow{\text{H}^+ / \text{Invertase}} \text{D-Glucose } (+52.5^\circ) + \text{D-Fructose } (-92.4^\circ)$$
