What are the products of hydrolysis of sucrose?
Hydrolysis is referred to as the breakdown of the sugar when reacted with water. Sucrose is a disaccharide that is formed of two monosaccharides which are glucose and fructose. Glucose and fructose in sucrose are connected with glycosidic bonds. Therefore, when sucrose is reacted with water in hydrolysis, the glycosidic bond between the glucose and fructose breaks down and they get separated. Sucrose gets converted into glucose and fructose. Thus, the products that we get by the hydrolysis of sucrose is glucose and fructose.
