What is the byproduct of sucrose?

The byproduct of sucrose metabolism, particularly during the process of glycolysis and fermentation, is primarily ethanol and carbon dioxide when anaerobic conditions are present. In aerobic conditions, sucrose is broken down into pyruvate, which can further enter the citric acid cycle for energy production. Additionally, during the hydrolysis of sucrose, glucose and fructose are produced as the primary byproducts.
