Which of the following carbohydrates has a glycosidic linkage?
  1. Fructofuranose
  2. Glucopyranose
  3. Maltose
  4. β-D-fructose

Solution

In maltose, two d-glucose residues are joined by a glycosidic linkage between the α-anomeric form of C-1 on one sugar and the hydroxyl oxygen atom on C-4 of the adjacent sugar. Such a linkage is called an α-1, 4-glycosidic bond.
