PRACTICA DE LABORATORIO No 1 carbohidratos
Pilar SantacruzCarbohydrates are biomolecules that contain functional groups are structures as polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones. Carbohydrates to contain carbonyl and hydroxyl groups present typical chemical properties and behavior of these two functional groups, carbohydrates are generally classified into monosaccharides and polysaccharides (simple and complex), monosaccharides are carbohydrates that can not be decomposed into simpler compounds by hydrolysis, these in turn are divided by the number of carbon atoms in the group containing aldoses (aldehyde) and ketoses (ketone); a polysaccharide is a carbohydrate which upon hydrolysis gives two or more monosaccharide units. The monosaccharides present characteristic reactions as redox reactions with reagents Tollens and Fehling, osazones formation and training of furfural.
