  2. Disaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaccharide

    For example, milk sugar (lactose) is a disaccharide made by condensation of one molecule of each of the monosaccharides glucose and galactose, whereas the disaccharide sucrose in sugar cane and sugar beet, is a condensation product of glucose and fructose. Maltose, another common disaccharide, is condensed from two glucose molecules. [7]

  3. Disaccharidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaccharidase

    Disaccharidases are glycoside hydrolases, enzymes that break down certain types of sugars called disaccharides into simpler sugars called monosaccharides. In the human body , disaccharidases are made mostly in an area of the small intestine 's wall called the brush border , making them members of the group of "brush border enzymes".

    Maltose [1] – a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose joined with an α(1→4) bond, formed from a condensation reaction; Maltodextrin, maltol [1] – a white powder or concentrated liquid made from corn starch, potato starch, or rice starch. Although it is sugar polymer, it does not taste sweet. Mannose [2] [1] Maple sugar – around ...

  6. Trehalose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trehalose

    Trehalose is a disaccharide formed by a 1,1-glycosidic bond between two α-glucose units. It is found in nature as a disaccharide and also as a monomer in some polymers. [7] Two other stereoisomers exist: α,β-trehalose, also called neotrehalose, and β,β-trehalose, also called isotrehalose. Neither of these alternate isomers has been ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycosaminoglycan

    The repeating disaccharide unit (GlcUA(1β→3)GalNAc(1β→4)) n of chondroitin sulfate. For polysaccharide nomenclature see here. R 1, R 2, R 3 may have different values. Glycosaminoglycans [1] (GAGs) or mucopolysaccharides [2] are long, linear polysaccharides consisting of repeating disaccharide units (i.e. two-sugar units).

  8. Kojibiose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kojibiose

    Kojibiose is a disaccharide. It is a product of the caramelization of glucose. [1] It is also present in honey (approx. 3%). [2] Kojibiose has a mild sweet taste, but low calorie count. In combination with its prebiotic properties, kojibiose could function as a sugar substitute. However, kojibiose is hard to synthesize on an industrial scale.

  9. Cellobiose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellobiose

    Cellobiose is a disaccharide with the formula (C 6 H 7 (OH) 4 O) 2 O. It is classified as a reducing sugar - any sugar that possesses the ability or function of a reducing agent. The chemical structure of cellobiose is derived from the condensation of a pair of β-glucose molecules forming a β(1→4) bond.
