Because this glycosidic linkage is formed by the OH group on the anomeric carbon of α-D-glucose and the OH group on the anomeric carbon of β-D-fructose, it ties up the anomeric carbons of both glucose and fructose.

This 1 : 1 mixture of glucose and fructose is often referred to as invert sugar because the sign of optical rotation changes, or inverts, during the hydrolysis of sucrose ([α] D = +66.5) to a glucose/ fructose mixture ([α] D = –22.0). This can happen only if the two sugars are joined by a glycoside link between the anomeric carbons of both sugars—C1 of glucose and C2 of fructose.
