Studies by GLC and GLC/MS of the mutarotation of fructose in water have been made to determine equilibrium composition as a function of temperature. The major components are .beta.-fructo-pyranose, .beta.-fructofuranose and .alpha.-fructofuranose in agreement with studies in the literature. There are small amounts of the .alpha.-fructopyranose and the open-chain ketone form. The major change during mutarotation is the ring size change for .beta.-fructopyranose .dblarw. .beta.-fructofuranose, but other changes contribute. For this reason, polarimetric rate studies of this system as a simple first-order equilibrium process are not valid. Hydrolysis of sucrose catalyzed by invertase has been accomplished to the extent of 99% in 1 min. The mutarotation of glucose and fructose were then studied without the complication of further production of the products from sucrose. The enzymatic cleavage is stereospecific to provide retained configuration in .alpha.-glucopyranose and .beta.-fructofuranose which each mutarotate to equilibrium. The mutarotation lag was demonstrated and its importance to sucrose hydrolysis discussed.
