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).
