What is "disaccharide"?
Disaccharides are a type of carbohydrate made up of two linked sugar molecules that provide a quick source of energy. Common examples include sucrose, which is table sugar; lactose, which is milk sugar; and maltose, which is malt sugar. Sucrose is found in many plants and is commonly used as a sweetener. Lactose is found in dairy products and is the main sugar in milk. Maltose is found in certain grains and is produced during the breakdown of starch. When consumed, disaccharides are broken down into their simpler sugar components by digestive enzymes before being absorbed into the bloodstream.
