Description

Sucrose is a glycosyl glycoside formed by glucose and fructose units joined by an acetal oxygen bridge from hemiacetal of glucose to the hemiketal of the fructose. It has a role as an osmolyte, a sweetening agent, a human metabolite, an algal metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite.

Benefits

1. As a carbohydrate, sucrose provides your body with the energy needed to perform physiological and psychological functions. Your body breaks down foods such as sucrose and starch into fructose and glucose during digestion. Fructose and glucose are metabolized by the body and release energy to cells. The energy generated during metabolism helps your body carry out physical and mental activities.

2. Sucrose is the most common carbohydrate form used to transport carbon in plants. Sucrose can be dissolved in water while maintaining a stable structure.

3. Sucrose is easily hydrolyzed by acid, and after hydrolysis, the same amount of D-glucose and D-fructose are produced. Not reducible. Caramel formed by fermentation can be used as a colorant of soy sauce.
