Reducing sugars in aqueous solution

The composition of reducing sugars in aqueous solution has been surveyed. A review on the structural properties of the anomeric centre in pyranoses and pyranosides has appeared. Three reviews concerning properties of fructose have been published, dealing with its metabolism, its chemical structure and properties, and its chemistry with some emphasis on the relationship between molecular structure and calculated and experimental values of optical activity, and such properties as taste. The production of nutritive sweeteners by acidic and enzymic hydrolysis of starch has been reviewed. ...
