Ideas in this flowchart

  • Disaccharides
  • Disaccharides are composed of pairs of two monosaccharides linked together.
  • Every disaccharide contains at least one glucose molecule.
  • Sucrose
  • Sucrose contains glucose and fructose and is also known as table sugar.
  • Sucrose occurs in many fruits and vegetables and is concentrated in sugar beets and sugarcane.
  • Sugar beets and sugarcane are used to make table sugar.
  • Lactose
  • Lactose consists of one glucose unit and one galactose unit and is commonly called milk sugar.
  • Lactose is prevalent in dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese.
  • Maltose
  • Maltose consists of two glucose molecules bonded together.
  • Maltose is a common breakdown product of plant starches and is rarely found in foods as a disaccharide.
