  • Structural Features
    1 Structural features As defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry gly- cans are structures of multiple monosaccharides linked through glycosidic bonds. The terms sugar and saccharide are synonyms, depending on your preference for Arabic (“sukkar”) or Greek (“sakkēaron”). Saccharide is the root for monosaccha- rides (a single carbohydrate unit), oligosaccharides (3 to 20 units) and polysac- charides (large polymers of more than 20 units). Carbohydrates follow the basic formula (CH2O)N>2. Glycolaldehyde (CH2O)2 would be the simplest member of the family if molecules of two C-atoms were not excluded from the biochemical repertoire. Glycolaldehyde has been found in space in cosmic dust surrounding star-forming regions of the Milky Way galaxy. Glycolaldehyde is a precursor of several organic molecules. For example, reaction of glycolaldehyde with propenal, another interstellar molecule, yields ribose, a carbohydrate that is also the backbone of nucleic acids. Figure 1 – The Rho Ophiuchi star-forming region is shown in infrared light as captured by NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Explorer. Glycolaldehyde was identified in the gas surrounding the star-forming region IRAS 16293-2422, which is is the red object in the centre of the marked square. This star-forming region is 26’000 light-years away from Earth. Glycolaldehyde can react with propenal to form ribose. Image source: www.eso.org/public/images/eso1234a/ Beginning the count at three carbon atoms, glyceraldehyde and dihydroxy- acetone share the common chemical formula (CH2O)3 and represent the smallest carbohydrates. As their names imply, glyceraldehyde has an aldehyde group (at C1) and dihydoxyacetone a carbonyl group (at C2).

  • Mutarotation
    13 Mutarotation The α and β anomers are diastereomers of each other and usually have different specific rotations. A solution or liquid sample of a pure α anomer will rotate plane polarised light by a different amount and/or in the opposite direction than the pure β anomer of that compound. The optical rotation of the solution depends on the optical rotation of each anomer and their ratio in the solution. For example, if a solution of β-D-glucopyranose is dissolved in water, its specific optical rotation will be +18.7°. Over time, some of the β-D-glucopyranose will undergo mutarotation to become α-D-glucopyranose, which has an optical rotation of +112.2°. Thus the rotation of the solution will increase from +18.7° to an equilibrium value of +52.7° as some of the β form is converted to the α form. The equilibrium mixture is actually about 64% of β-D-glucopyranose and about 36% of α-D-glucopyranose, though there are also traces of the other forms including furanoses and open chained form. The α anomer is the major conformer, although somewhat controversially; this is due to the anomeric effect with the stabilization energy provided by n–σ* hyperconjugation. The observed rotation of the sample is the weighted sum of the optical rotation of each anomer weighted by the amount of that anomer present. 14 Therefore, one can use a polarimeter to measure the rotation of a sample and then calculate the ratio of the two anomers present from the enantiomeric excess, as long as one knows the rotation of each pure anomer.

This physical chemical experiment is proposed as an alternative to classical po- larimetry. The glucose meter allows the indirect monitoring of the mutarotation process in water, by using an enzymatic redox reaction. The test strips of the glucose meter contain glucose dehydrogenase which converts β-D-glucose into D- glucolactone. This reaction selectively converts glucose and generates an electrical current in the glucose meter which is proportional to the glucose concentration. This experiment allows the teacher to explore the kinetics and thermodynamics of the mutarotation of D-glucose and, moreover, the stereospecificity of enzymatic reactions.

Routine monitoring and quantitation of heterogenous carbohydrate mixtures requires Glucose fast, accurate, and precise analytical methods. Here we present two methods to quantify carbohydrates mixtures Monosaccharides by coupling hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization high-resolution mass Disaccharides spectrometry. Method 1 was optimized for eleven different carbohydrates: three pentoses (ribose, arabinose, xylose), three hexoses (glucose, fructose, mannose), and five dimers (sucrose, cellobiose, maltose, trehalose, lactose). Method 1 can monitor these carbohydrates simultaneously, except in the case of co-elution of xylose/ arabinose and lactose/maltose/cellobiose peaks. Using the same stationary and mobile phases as in Method 1, Method 2 was developed to separate glucose and galactose, which were indistinguishable in Method 1. Both methods have low limits of detection (0.019–0.40 μM) and quantification (0.090–1.3 μM), good precision (2.4–13%) except sucrose (18%), and low mass error (0.0–2.4 ppm). Method 1 was robust at analyzing high ionic strength solutions, but a moderate matrix effect was observed.

The hydroxyl group formed as a result of hemiacetal formation is highly reactive when compared to other hydroxyl groups. This hydroxyl group present in one monosaccharide reacts with any one of the hydroxyl groups attached to C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, or C-6 of another monosaccharide to produce 1→1, 1→2, 1→3, 1→4, and 1→6 linked disaccharides.

This reaction form an acetal from a hemiacetal. Glycosidic bonds are readily hydrolyzed by acid but resist cleavage by base. Thus, disaccharides can be hydrolyzed to yield their free monosaccharide components by boiling with dilute acid. Maltose It is also called maltobiose or malt sugar. The disaccharide maltose contains two D-glucose residues joined by a O-glycosidic linkage between C-1 (the anomeric carbon) of one glucose residue and C-4 of the other. Because the disaccharide retains ONE free anomeric carbon maltose is a reducing sugar. The configuration of the anomeric carbon atom in the glycosidic linkage is α-(14). The glucose residue with the free anomeric carbon is capable of existing in α- and β–pyranose forms. Non-reducing reducing Lactose It is also called milk sugar. It is composed of galactose and glucose linked by is β-(14) glycosidic bond. So, galactose lose its reducing ability because the hemiacetal is converted to acetal bond, while the anomeric carbon of the glucose residue is available for oxidation and retains its reducing potential. Thus lactose is a reducing disaccharide. Its abbreviated name is Gal(14)Glc.

    Mutarotation Rates and Equilibrium of Simple Carbohydrates On-line Number 133 Sukanya Srisa-nga and Adrian E. Flood School of Chemical Engineering, Suranaree University of Technology, 111 University Avenue, Muang, Nakhon Ratchasima, 30000, Thailand, E-mail: adrianfl@ccs.sut.ac.th ABSTRACT Crystalline sugars are significant commodities in the world market, however the crystallization behaviour of many sugars is still not well known. Recently it has been shown that the mutarotation reaction of reducing sugars plays a significant role in determining the crystallization rate of these sugars, and thus it is beneficial to be able to model and predict mutarotation rates for common sugars. The mutarotation rate and equilibrium of simple carbohydrates; D-glucose, D-galactose, D-cellobiose, D-maltose, and D-turanose, in aqueous solutions were measured between 7 and 35°C, using 13C-NMR. The effects of sugar concentration and temperature on the rate of mutarotation and mutarotation equilibrium were observed. It has been found that the rate of mutarotation slightly decreases as the sugar concentration increases. The rate constant of the studied sugars follows an Arrhenius relationship with respect to temperature, and activation energies for the reactions were found from an Arrhenius plot. There are no clear correlations between the equilibrium constant and the sugar concentration or the temperature. Finally, it is quite clear that the mutarotation rate of ketose sugars is higher than the mutarotation rate of aldose sugars, and the number of rings in the structure (i.e. monosaccharide and disaccharide) does not have a significant effect on the rate of mutarotation.

The use of industrial enzymatic and microbial processes greatly reduced their production costs, making research on these molecules more accessible. Since then, the number of studies on their medical/clinical applications grew and rare sugars emerged as potential candidates to replace conventional sugars in human nutrition thanks to their beneficial health effects. More recently, the potential use of rare sugars in agriculture was also highlighted. However, overviews and critical evaluations on this topic are missing. This review aims to provide the current knowledge about the effects of rare sugars on the organisms of the farming ecosystem, with an emphasis on their mode of action and practical use as an innovative tool for sustainable agriculture.

    Course Code: CHEM3014 Course Name: Organic Chemistry V Unit: 4 (Carbohydrate) (Lecture-Part 3) For B.Sc. (Honours) Semester: VI By Dr. Abhijeet Kumar Department of Chemistry Mahatma Gandhi Central University Conversion of Open-Chain to Cyclic structure of Monosaccharide The open chain form has been found to be in equilibrium with the cyclized hemiacetal forms in case of monosaccharide. Example of cyclization of glucose has been shown below. Figure 1: Example of cyclization of glucose (Picture adapted from Chapter No. 22, ‘Organic Chemistry’ (10th edition) by T. W. G. Solomons and C. B. Fryhle.) Anomer Formation During Cyclization As it can be seen in previous slide, that during cyclization, the -OH group present at C-5 could approach to the CHO group which is planar from two different faces. After this nucleophilic addition step, a new chiral centre generates. Overall it results into the formation of two diastereomers α-D-(+)-glucopyranose and β-D-(+)- glucopyranose which differ only at one carbon centre. Anomer: These diastereomers differing only at the hemiacetal or acetal carbon are called anomers, and the hemiacetal or acetal carbon atom is called the anomeric carbon atom. Therefore after cyclization two anomers generated which are α and β anomers depending on the orientation of OH group at C1 carbon. Before we move to the next part, in first point term ‘pyranose’ was used so let’s have a look at it. O O Pyran Furan Figure 2: Structure of pyran and furan ring Pyranose: If the monosaccharide ring is six membered similar to pyran, the compound is called a pyranose.
