Hydrolysis of sucrose yields one mole of glucose and one mole of fructose per mole of sucrose.

Hydrolysis of maltose yields two moles of glucose per mole of maltose.

Hydrolysis of lactose yields one mole of glucose and one mole of galactose.

Hydrolysis of raffinose yields one mole of glucose, one mole of fructose, and one mole of galactose.

Hydrolysis of stachyose yields one mole of glucose, one mole of fructose, and two moles of galactose.

Thus, maltose produces double the quantity of glucose on hydrolysis per mole as compared with sucrose.

Answer: Maltose
