Carbohydrates
- polyhydroxy aldehydes or keytones or compounds which produce them on hydrolysis
Classification of Carbohydrates
- monosaccharides
- simplest group of carbohydrates and often referred to as simple sugars
- eg : glucose, fructose, galactose
- simplest group of carbohydrates and often referred to as simple sugars
- oligosaccharides
- contain 2-10 monosaccharide units which are liberated on hyrdrolysis
- eg : sucrose, lactose, maltose
- contain 2-10 monosaccharide units which are liberated on hyrdrolysis
- polysaccharides
- polymers of monosaccharide units
- homopolysaccharides
- similar sugar monomer units
- eg : starch, glycogen
- similar sugar monomer units
- heteropolysaccharides
- different sugar monomer units
- eg : heparin , hyaluronic acid
- different sugar monomer units
- homopolysaccharides
- polymers of monosaccharide units
- monosaccharides
