Does gentiobiose undergo mutarotation?

Yes, since galactose is a monosaccharide it can undergo mutarotaion just like glucose. The only difference between glucose and galactose is the side the OH and H are on, on the carbon atom #4. When galactose becomes a in chain form, drawn in Fischer formula the OH will be on the left side instead of the right side. This is how you get Galactose α or β, at the end of the mutarotation the chain can link back into a ring either way, α with the carbon #1's OH on the bottom and H on top, or β with the OH on top and H on the bottom (Haworth formula).
