Mutarotation is the change in the optical rotation because of the change in the equilibrium between two anomers, when the corresponding stereocenters interconvert. Cyclic sugars show mutarotation as α and β anomeric forms interconvert. The optical rotation of the solution depends on the optical rotation of each anomer and their ratio in the solu...

<chemistry> Name given to the phenomenon that occurs when glucose is dissolved in water. There is an equilibrium that is formed between the open-chain form and the alpha and beta pyranose forms. The beta is the most stable conformation because it puts the -OH in an equatorial position and thus most of the glucose in the aqueous solution is in...

Type: Term Pronunciation: myū′tă-rō-tā′shŭn Definitions: 1. The process of changing specific rotation at a given wavelength; a solution of α-d-glucose recrystallized from its solution in acetic acid and freshly dissolved in water gives a rotation of [α] = +112.2°, but when recrystallized from a boilin...
