Definitions
from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.
- noun A disaccharide that is produced from the partial hydrolysis of cellulose.
from The Century Dictionary.
- noun A biose, C12H22O11, obtained from cellulose by the action of acetic anhydrid and sulphuric acid and subsequent saponification. When heated, it decomposes at 225° C. It reduces Fehling's solution, is dextrorotatory, and gives glucose on hydrolysis.
