In this article we will discuss about the substances that liberate one or more monosaccharides on hydrolysis. The Oligo- and Polysaccharides: Holosides therefore consist exclusively of monosaccharides. Depending on the number of molecules of monosaccharides liberated during hydrolysis there are disaccharides, trisaccharides, etc. We will study particularly two groups of compounds: the disaccharides and the […]
