A team of chemists, microbiologists and ecologists has designed a molecular probe (a molecule designed to detect proteins or ...

The purpose of removing dietary disaccharides and polysaccharides (starches) is to inhibit the growth of microorganisms in the intestines, their resulting overgrowth and therefore the possible ...

Researchers have developed a new process that uses microwave flow reaction and recyclable solid catalysts to efficiently hydrolyze polysaccharides into simple sugars. The developed device utilizes ...

Among steps of studying fungus polysaccharides, extraction is the most significant stage as it determines the monosaccharide composition, molecular weight, structure, spatial configuration, and ...

Monosaccharides and disaccharides are simple carbohydrates, and polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are sugars. They consist of just one or two molecules.

The structures of oligosaccharides are difficult to analyze due to their high variability. Every oligosaccharide can consist of different monosaccharides, each present in either the α- or β-anomeric ...

Featured Two bonded monosaccharides create a disaccharide. There are also three types of disaccharides: sucrose, lactose, and maltose. The type of disaccharide is often identifiable by its source.

Monosaccharides and disaccharides are considered simple sugars as they break down easily, readily providing the body with energy. Oligosaccharides and polysaccharides are more complex molecules ...
