OK Vasky :D - what is Alpha 1-4 Gluco pyranosyl Beta D Fructo furanoside?

Damn, err it's got a glucose chain attached to it on the 1st and 4th carbon atoms? And a fructose chain. And some carboxyllic acid chain? Damn....can't remember :D </font>[/QUOTE]No no no no no ;) - Davros once again demonstrates that Chemical Engineers get taaught dam all abaout Chemistry ;) (I am a defector myself - was a chemist before becoming a chemical engineer [img]smile.gif[/img] )
The glucose isn't a chain - the wording clearly spells out that it is in pyran form (ie a corupted hexagonal ring of 6 - 5 C's and an O), and again, fructose is as a furan (pentagonal with 4 C's and an O) rather than a chain.
It's just the overly correct technical application of chemical convention to say Sucrose - or just common sugar ;) .
Sugar is of course imporant in the fermentation process, so I wasn't in fact alll that far off topic ;) |
