Synopsis

Explore how complex sugars break down and why enzymes work so differently from acids. This science-packed guide reveals the unseen rules that govern glucosides and disaccharides.

Delving into hydrolysis and synthesis, the book explains how disaccharides split into monosaccharides and how acids and enzymes differ in their power and selectivity. It covers historical moments, like the discovery of mutarotation, and compares how various sugars respond to different conditions. Readers will see how the arrangement of atoms in glucosides affects how quickly they hydrolyze, and how models help illustrate these ideas.

The book also surveys synthetic glucosides, the behavior of glucosides under a range of conditions, and the roles of enzymes in breaking down sugars. It ties together practical observations with theoretical reasoning to illuminate carbohydrate chemistry for students and curious readers alike.

• How disaccharides hydrolyze under acids and by enzymes, with key differences in speed and mechanism.


• Why certain glucosides are more easily broken down than others, tied to molecular structure.


• Historical context on mutarotation and the evolution of carbohydrate theory.


• Connections between simple sugars and their more complex glucosides, including synthetic methods.

Ideal for readers of science reference works and anyone curious about how sugars behave in nature and the lab.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
