Invert sugar is a mixture of
A
D-Glucose + D-Fructose
B
L-Glucose + D-Fructose
C
L-Glucose + D-Glucose
D
L-Glucose + L-Glucose
Answer
D-Glucose + D-Fructose
Explanation
Solution
Sucrose is dextrorotatory but after hydrolysis gives dextrorotatory glucose and laevorotatory fructose. The hydrolysis of sucrose brings about a change in the sign of rotation from dextro (+) to laevo (-) and the product is named as invert sugar.
