Revision as of 11:40, 26 October 2012

A condensation reaction is a reaction in which a water molecule is formed, usually in bond making, for example, carbohydrates in making glycosidic bonds.

The production of Maltose from two Glucose molecules is an example of a condensation reaction-

C₆H₁₂O₆+ C₆H₁₂O₆ --> C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O
