| The linkage of two monosaccharides to form disaccharides involves a glycosidic bond. |
| Simple sugars, the monosaccharides and disaccharides, are very easy for human bodies to use as a source of energy. |
| This enzyme is secreted by the pancreas and has the same activity as salivary amylase, producing disaccharides and trisaccharides. |
| Several physiologically important disaccharides are sucrose, lactose and maltose. |
| The acronym stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. |
| The ingestion, hydrolysis, absorption and metabolism of trehalose is identical to that of all other disaccharides. |
