what are the classification of oligosaccharides?
Asked by gautam | 13 Aug, 2014, 08:11: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Oligosachharides contain 2 to 9 monosaccharides.
Oligosaccharides are basically classsified as disaccharides, trisaccharides, tetrasaccharides, pentasachharides and so on depending upon the number of monosaccharides present in the sugar.
Fructo-oligosaccharides and inulin oligosaccharides consist of short chains of fructose molecules, while galacto-oligosaccharides consist of short chains of galactose molecules. All three types of oligosaccharides occur naturally.
