[ Disaccharide ] A carbohydrate molecule comprising of two monosaccharides. Disaccharides are generally sweet-tasting, water-soluable, white, crystalline solids with the general formula of CnH2nOn. Dietary disaccharides must be hydrolyzed to monosaccharides prior to absorption into the blood stream.. Examples: sucrose,… Read More »Disaccharide
