ABSTRACT

While carbohydrates exist almost entirely a

s cyclic hemiacetals in aqueous solutions, they are in rapid equilibrium

with their open chain forms and behave in an analogous way as simple aldehydes and ketones. Sugars such as

hexoses, give polarographic curve but the disaccharide such as sucrose do not. Sucrose may hydrolysis to fructose so that analytical use of reduction of fructose can be made in determination of sucrose. The study of increase in the

wave height of fructose has been used to investigate the inversion of sucrose.

Keywords: Sucrose, polarography, inversi

on, disaccharide fructose, polarograms, DPP, DCP.

INTRODUCTION

The hydrolysis of sucrose by boiling with a mineral acid, or by the enzyme invertase, produce a

mixture of equal molecules of D-glucose and D-fructose. H C 12 H 22
O 11 + H 2 C 6 H 12 O6 + C 6 H 12 O 6 or invertase D-glucose D-fructose Sucrose solution is dextro rotatory but during hydrolysis it becomes laevorotatory.

The specific rotation of sucrose is + 66.5

o . D-glucose has specific rotation +52 o and D-fructose-92 o Therefore the net specific rotation of an equimolar mixture of D-glucose and D-fructose is- 5292

o o In the process of hydrolysis, the specific rotation changes from +66.5 o to -20 o . The sign of the

specific rotation changes from (+) to (-), or is said to 'Invert'. Hence the hydrolysis of sucrose to D-

glucose and D-fructose is termed 'Inversion' and the hydrolysis mixture is called 'Invert - sugar'.

The rate of inversion can be studied from

the increase in concentration of fructose. The rate of inversion of sugar, has been studied polarogrpahically from the increase in the wave of fructose. Results have been discussed in the present paper.

EXPERIMENTAL

Determination of Fructose: 1 ml of 1M solution of fructose was transferred to a polarographic cell containing 10 ml of 1M CaCl 2

. 5ml of 0.1% gelatin was added to the solution as a maximum suppressor. INVERSION OF SUCROSE Imrana Siddiqui

Vol.3, No.2 (2010), 255-259

The volume of the analyte was made up to 100ml with distilled water. The pH of the solution was

adjusted to 6.7. Polarogram was recorded keeping the initial emf set to - 1.5V in the presence of air

2 Calibration curve was obtained by taking various concentrations of fructose under the identical experimental conditions.

Fructose was also polarographed using LiCl as supporting electrolyte. 1ml of 1M fructose was transferred

to a polarographic cell containing 10 ml of 1M LiCl. The volume of the test solution was made up to

100ml with distilled water. pH of the solution was adjusted to 7.0 with dilute solutions of NaOH/HCl.

The solution was polarographed keeping the initial emf set to -1.6V in the presence of air.

Calibration curve was obtained under the indentical experimental conditions with varying concentrations

of fructose. Study of inversion of sugar: Polarographically the study of the rate of inversion of cane sugar was carried out with a 6% solution of sucrose in 0.1N HCl in a thermostat at 25 0

C. At fixed intervals of time,

a 10ml sample was taken out, made slightly alkaline with 10ml of 1M LiCl and NaOH, diluted 10 times with distilled water and polarographed in air under the identical conditions as discussed earlier.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The carbonyl group of carbohydrate can be reduced to an alcohol function. The product of carbohydrate

reduction is called alditols. Since these alditols lack a carbonyl group, they are, of course incapable of

forming cyclic hemiacetals and exist exclusively in non cyclic forms.

Reduction of D-fructose yeilds a mixture of glucitol and mannitol (sorbitol and mannitol) corresponding

to the two possible configuration at the newly generated chiral centre at C-2 3 HOH OHH OHH CH 2 OH C=O C C C CH 2 OH HOH OHH OHH CH 2 OH C C C C CH 2 OH HOH HOH OHH OHH CH 2 OH C C C C CH 2 OH OHH

Reduction of D- Fructose

Sugars such as the hexoses, give polarographic curve but the disaccharides such as sucrose and lactose, do

not 4 Fructose produces a polarographic wave / peak in 0.1M solution of CaCl 2 at pH 6.7 with half wave

potential of - 1.65V and peak potential (DPP mode) of - 1.74V vs SCE (Fig.1 and Fig.2 ). There is no

change in the E 1/2 value with change in pH. However, in an acid medium the hydrogen wave starts before the ketone wave 5 Disaccharides (sucrose, maltose, lactose) are reported not to be reduced at the DME 6 . Analytical use of

reduction of fructose can be made in determination of their substances in the presence of sucrose and

glucose 7

The height of the wave/peak of fructose is directly proportional to the concentration of fructose in the

solution.

Fig.-1 and Fig.-2 shows the polarographic investigation of the inversion of sucrose from the increase in

the wave of fructose. The various curves shown in the figure are obtained by taking 10 ml of solution

from 6% solution of sucrose in 0.1N HCl at 25 o

C, after a definite time (given in hours).

obeys the first order rate law as the amount of water present is in such an excess that its concentration

may be considered to remain constant. The reaction is therefore a pseudounimolecular reaction. It has

been studied by observing the increase in the polarographic wave of fructose at regular time intervals.

The data has been depicted in Table-1 and 2. The constant value of k shows that the reaction is of first

order. On the basis above data and ongoing discussion it could be concluded that the polarographic method is an accurate and reliable method for the study of kinetics of inversion of sucrose. Table-1: Change in concentration of fructose with time
