Sucrose’s aqueous solution is dextrorotatory, rotating plane-polarized light entering the solution 66.5 degrees to the right. When sucrose is hydrolyzed with dilute acids or invertase enzyme, two products, dextrorotatory D-(+)-glucose and laevorotatory D-(-)-fructose, are produced in equimolar concentration. As a result of sucrose hydrolysis, the sign of rotation changes from Dextro (+) to laevo (–). As a result, the hydrolyzed combination has laevorotatory properties.
