  2. Monosaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosaccharide

    Most monosaccharides have the formula (CH 2 O) x (though not all molecules with this formula are monosaccharides). Examples of monosaccharides include glucose (dextrose), fructose (levulose), and galactose. Monosaccharides are the building blocks of disaccharides (such as sucrose, lactose and maltose) and polysaccharides (such as cellulose and ...

  3. Sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar

    Longer chains of monosaccharides (>2) are not regarded as sugars and are called oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. Starch is a glucose polymer found in plants, the most abundant source of energy in human food. Some other chemical substances, such as ethylene glycol, glycerol and sugar alcohols, may have a sweet taste but are not classified as ...

    Free sugar – all monosaccharides and disaccharides added to food and naturally present sugars in honey, syrups, and fruit juices (sugars inside cells, as in raw fruit, are not included) Fructose [1] – a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose; Fruit juice ...

    Falernum – a syrup liqueur from the Caribbean, best known for its use in tropical drinks; Flavored syrup – typically consists of a simple syrup (sugar fully mixed with water while heated), with naturally occurring or artificial flavorings also dissolved in the syrup.

  6. Reducing sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reducing_sugar

    In an alkaline solution, a reducing sugar forms some aldehyde or ketone, which allows it to act as a reducing agent, for example in Benedict's reagent. In such a reaction, the sugar becomes a carboxylic acid. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars, along with some disaccharides, some oligosaccharides, and some polysaccharides.

  7. Sugar alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_alcohol

    Sugar alcohols can be, and often are, produced from renewable resources.Particular feedstocks are starch, cellulose and hemicellulose; the main conversion technologies use H 2 as the reagent: hydrogenolysis, i.e. the cleavage of C−O single bonds, converting polymers to smaller molecules, and hydrogenation of C=O double bonds, converting sugars to sugar alcohols.

  9. Syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrup

    Simple syrup (also known as sugar syrup, or bar syrup) is a basic sugar-and-water syrup. It is used by bartenders as a sweetener to make cocktails, and as a yeast feeding agent in ethanol fermentation. The ratio of sugar to water is 1:1 by volume for normal simple syrup, but can get up to 2:1 for rich simple syrup. [6]
