14.15 What are the hydrolysis products of (i) Sucrose and (ii) Lactose ? 

14.15

Hydrolysis is the process of using water to break down a molecule into two parts. It is usually a type of decomposition reaction where one reactant is water, where water is used to break chemical bonds in the other reactant. It can be considered as reverse of a condensation reaction.

The general formula of a hydrolysis reaction is:

XY + H₂O → XH + YOH

(i) On hydrolysis with dilute acids, sucrose yields an equimolecular mixture of α –D glucose and β–D- fructose.

(ii) The hydrolysis of lactose gives β–D-galactose and β–D-glucose as final products.
