- isomaltose is a disaccharide which can be obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of amylopectin. Deduce the structure of isomaltose from the following data: a. The hydrolysis of 1 mole of isomaltose with acid or alpha-glucosidase yields 2 moles of D- glucose. b. Isomaltose is a reducing sugar c. Isomaltose is oxidized with bromine water to isomaltonic acid. Insomaltonic acid methylation followed by hydrolysis yielded 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2,3,4,5- tetra-O-methyl-D-gluconate acid. d. Isomaltose methylation itself followed by hydrolysis to produce 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl- D-glucose and 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose.

- In the structure in the picture, the monosaccharide units (alpha-D-galactopyranosyl and beta-D-allopyranose) are linked via alpha-1->3 glycosidic bond. Then, the formed disaccharide units are linked via beta-1->4 glycosidic bond. Then, an Oligosaccharide is formed which has 10 monosaccharide units, meaning that it contains 5 disaccharide units.
