I know a condensation reaction occurs, with the loss of water. But which OH is lost? The O in the linkage belongs to which monosaccharide? Example: take sucrose, the O in the linkage belongs to fructose or glucose? I couldn't find any literature regarding this. Any help is appreciated . biochemistry chemical-biology carbohydrates share | improve this question asked May 26 at 5:52 user226375 user226375 ...
