Question

Raffinose is

• A. Trisaccharide
• B. Monosaccharide
• C. Disaccharide
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Trisaccharide

Answer 2

Raffinose $(C_{18}H_{32}O_{16})$ is a trisaccharide

$C_{18}H_{32}O_{16} + H_{2}O \rightarrow \underset{\text{D glucose}}{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}} + \underset{\text{D fructose}}{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}} + \underset{\text{D mannose}}{C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}}$
