BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of 50% glucose and 50% fructose and has a glycemic index of 65. Sucrose is digested rapidly, but has a relatively low glycemic index due to its content of fructose, which has a minimal effect on blood glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates which upon hydrolysis yield two molecules of the same or different monosaccharides are called disaccharides. For example, sucrose on acid hydrolysis give one molecule of glucose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Disaccharides found in food include sucrose, lactose, and maltose, a grain sugar, all of these contain glucose. Sucrose is naturally found in honey, maple sugar, sugarcane, and sugar beets. These products are processed to create white, brown, and powdered sugars.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sucrose is a disaccharide consisting of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule, or 50% glucose and 50% fructose.
