    Study Notes

    Classification of Carbohydrates

    • Carbohydrates are classified into four main categories: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.

    Monosaccharides

    • Known as simple sugars.
    • Major types include hexoses (6 carbons) and pentoses (5 carbons).
    • Examples of hexoses: glucose, fructose, galactose, mannose.
    • Examples of pentoses: arabinose, xylose, xylulose, ribose, deoxyribose.

    Disaccharides

    • Formed by the combination of two monosaccharides.
    • Common examples include sucrose, maltose, and lactose.

    Oligosaccharides

    • Composed of 3 to 10 monosaccharides.
    • Trisaccharides examples: gentianose, raffinose, maltotriose, melezitose.
    • Tetrasaccharides example: stachyose.

    Polysaccharides

    • Can be divided into homoglycans and heteroglycans.
    • Homoglycans examples: starch, inulin, dextran, cellulose.
    • Heteroglycans example: carrageenan, which is hydrolyzed into galactose, glucose, fructose, and arabinose.

    Carbon Classification

    • Carbohydrates are further categorized based on the number of carbons.
    • Diose contains 2 carbons.
    • Trioses contain 3 carbons (examples: glyceraldehyde, dihydroxyacetone).
    • Tetroses contain 4 carbons (examples: erythrose, threose, erythulose).
    • Pentoses contain 5 carbons (examples: ribose, arabinose, xylose, lyxose, ribulose, xylulose).
    • Hexoses contain 6 carbons (aldose examples: allose, altrose, glucose, mannose, gulose, idose, galactose, talose; ketose examples: fructose, psicose, sorbose, tagatose).
    • Heptoses contain 7 carbons (aldose example: sedohepose; ketose example: sedoheptulose).
    • Octoses contain 8 carbons (example: d-glycerol-d-mannoctulose).
    • Nonoses contain 9 carbons (example: neuramic acid/sialic acid).
