Sugar

Sugar is a class of sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. Simple sugars, also called monosaccharides, include glucose, fructose and galactose. Compound sugars, also called disaccharides or double sugars, are molecules made of two bonded monosaccharides; common examples are sucrose, lactose and maltose. White sugar is almost pure sucrose. During digestion, compound sugars are hydrolysed into simple sugars.
