Who is the father of carbohydrate ?

Correct answer: A. Claude Silbert Hudson

  • A. Claude Silbert Hudson
  • B. Anselme Payen
  • C. Jons jacob Berzeliis
  • D. Justus von Liebig

Explanation

Claude Silbert Hudson is commonly described in older textbooks as a father of carbohydrate chemistry because of his work on sugar stereochemistry and structural relationships. Anselme Payen is linked with the discovery of cellulose and diastase, so students may choose him by confusing important carbohydrate discoveries with the title in the question.
