The term Alpha and Beta carbohydrates refer to the configuration of the hydroxyl group on the anomeric carbon, or the number 1 carbon on aldoses, or the number 2 carbon in ketoses. If you are drawing the pyranose or furanose structures of these compounds, alpha refers to the hydroxyl group pointing down and beta refers to the hydroxyl being up.
