Classification of saccharides

The classification of saccharides includes disaccharides (such as sucrose and lactose), oligosaccharides (such as maltose and raffinose), and polysaccharides (such as starch and cellulose). Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharide molecules linked together and have a sweet taste. Oligosaccharides consist of 3-10 monosaccharide molecules and are beneficial to gut health. Polysaccharides are composed of a large number of monosaccharide molecules and are important components of plant cell walls and energy storage.
