Step 1: Sucrose Components — Sucrose is a disaccharide formed by the condensation of one unit of and one unit of .
Step 2: Stereochemical Configuration — Specifically, the linkage connects the -anomer of to the -anomer of .
Step 3: Conclusion — Hydrolysis yields and . This identifies the correct products and their optical rotations.
Remember: The dextrorotation of glucose () combined with the stronger levorotation of fructose () makes the mixture levorotatory (invert sugar).
