This document discusses various disaccharides including maltose, sucrose, lactose, lactulose, and trehalose. It provides information on their composition, sources, properties, and uses. Disaccharides are composed of two monosaccharide units joined by an alpha-glycosidic bond. Each disaccharide is then described in more detail regarding its specific monosaccharide components, where it can be found, and any relevant enzymatic breakdown or physiological effects.
