Monosacharydy
Monosaccharides, simple sugars - non-hydrolysed carbohydrates to smaller subunits under the influence of dilute acids. There are 3 to 7 carbon atoms in their structure. Monosaccharides may be in ring form if they contain at least 4 carbon atoms in the molecule.
All monosaccharides are readily crystallized and soluble in water. They are odorless, colorless, generally characterized by a sweet taste, although for example β-D-mannose is sweet-bitter.
You can divide them by the number of carbon atoms:
Also because of the type of carbonyl group: Monosaccharides include, but are not limited to, five-carbon ribose and deoxyribose, and hexahydroglucose, fructose, mannose and galactose.
Simple sugars are monomers from which disaccharides (disaccharides), oligosaccharides and polysaccharides (polysaccharides) are built. Sample disaccharides are: Authoritative control (carbohydrate):
