Just a few questions I'd be grateful if anyone could clear up.
1) When is it a glycosidic bond and when is it an ester bond? I know bonds between all carbohydrates are glycosidic, but what if it's for example a fatty acid (which isn't a carb) attached to sucrose (which is)?
2)
Starting with separate molecules of glucose, fructose and fatty acids. how many molecules of water would be produced when one molecule of olestra is formed?
I thought it would be 10 since there are 8 fatty acids, plus the bond called X and then
fructose had to join to sucrose, but apparently it's 9? Thanks!
Thanks!
