Question

Sugar cane juice contains
A. Sucrose and glucose
B. Sucrose and fructose
C. Sucrose and maltose
D. Sucrose only.

Answer 1

Sugarcane juice is obtained by grinding the sugarcane culms. It contains disaccharide sugar molecules present in the sugar beet roots and sugarcane stems. It also produces naturally adjacent to the glucose and fructose in many other plants, in specifically some roots like carrots or in some fruits also.

Complete answer:
To answer this question, first, we need to know about sugar cane juice composition. Sugarcane juice isn't pure sugar. It consists of almost 70–75% water, about 10-15% fiber, and 13–15% sugar in the form of sucrose. Sugarcane juice comes with an abundance of nutrients that includes: potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, magnesium, zinc, thiamin, riboflavin and several amino acids.
Now, let us find the solution from the option.

Sugar cane juice contains sucrose is a disaccharide composed of half glucose and half fructose and is digested continuously into its other parts.
Maltose is a disaccharide structure from two units of glucose with α bond.
The major element of sugarcane is sucrose that assembles in the stalk internodes. Sucrose taken out and refined in specific mill factories, is utilized as raw material in food industries for humans or produce ethanol by fermentation process.

Thus, the correct option is D. i.e. Sucrose only.

Note: Sugarcane is rich in antioxidants so it helps fight infections and boosts immunity. It's rich in iron, magnesium, calcium and other electrolytes so it's great for dehydration. It assists in prevention of the usual cold and other infectious illness and also prevents fever as it enhances the protein levels of the body.
