Carbohydrates

Types of carbohydrates

• Disaccharides and Oligosaccharides

• Monosaccharides

• Ligasaccharides

• Manosaccharides

• Polysaccharides

¿What are Monosaccharides?

• Are sugars composed of two monosaccharide units that are joined by a carbon oxygen carbon linkage known as a glycosidic linkage.

• Are any carbohydrates of from three to ten units of simple sugars.

• Are carbohydrate molecules that cannot be broken down by hydrolysis into simpler (smaller) carbohydrate molecules.

The term saccharide is derived from....

• saccharose, which is an old term for wood.

• saccharose, which is an old term for cane sugar.

• saccharose, which is an old term for seeds.

¿What are Disaccharides?

• Are sugars composed of two monosaccharide units that are joined by a carbon–oxygen-carbon linkage known as a glycosidic linkage.

• Is a large molecule made of many smaller monosaccharides.

• Are any carbohydrates of from three to ten units of simple sugars.

Oligosacchirades may be classified based on the number of monosaccharides they contain:

• Trisaccharides

• Tetrasaccharides

• Pentasaccharides

• Tritasaccharides

Types of oligosaccharides in food:
