The best example of anomeric carbon is which carbon in a monosaccharide like glucose about which rotation occurs. The anomeric carbon can be able to determine by the carbon “C” attached to 2 oxygen “O” atoms joined by single bonds. This rotation brings about 2 distinct configurations, α & β -anomers. Carbohydrates can then change spontaneously between α & β configurations: a process called as mutarotation.
