A disaccharide is a sugar (a type of carbohydrate) made by linking together two monosaccharides. A dehydration reaction forms a disaccharide. One molecule of water is removed for each linkage formed between the monosaccharide subunits. Both natural and artificial disaccharides are known. Examples of ...
An oligosaccharide is any carbohydrate of from three to six units of simple sugars (monosaccharides).
Chart 1. Types of Carbohydrates Simple Carbohydrates Examples Monosaccharidesor simple sugars (1 sugar unit)Fructose,galactose,glucose,mannose,tagatose,xylose Disaccharides(2 sugar units)Isomaltose,isomaltulose,lactose,maltose,sucrose,trehalose,trehalulose ...
via an aliphatic linker after his reaction with the C 6-hydroxyl group of the sugar moiety was rather equally well effective, whereas reductive amination with concomitant ring opening at the reducing end of the disaccharide lactose resulted in neoglycoproteins, yielding the lowest extent of staining...
The content of the monosaccharide glucose was reduced in favour of the disaccharide sucrose, which is confirmed by the significant negative correlation between glucose and sucrose (Figure 4). Soluble sugars are required for osmotic regulation to maintain phloem turgor and to maintain phloem transport ...
Chronic constipation (and other diseases as a result of constipation), abdominal pain with or without diarrhea, gastroesophageal reflux disease, abdominal bloating, disaccharide deficiencies, gastrointestinal tract inflammation, and enteric nervous system abnormalities are examples of gastrointestinal symptoms ...

The GT WbaZ which is known to form the α -D-Manp-(1 → 3)β -D-Galp disaccharide backbone is present in both strains. The pyruvylation of the capsule in K68 is also indi- cated by the presence of a pyruvyl transferase gene within its cps locus. In addition, the ...
Definition of Carbohydrates in Chemistry Chemically, carbohydrates are defined as“optically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or the compounds which produce units of such type on hydrolysis”. The substance most people refer to as “sugar” is the sucrose disaccharide, which is extracted either...
