Trisaccharides

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raffinose , trisaccharide made from the three simple sugars galactose , glucose and fructose

Trisaccharides (outdated triple sugar ) are organic-chemical compounds from the group of carbohydrates . Trisaccharides are formally formed from three monosaccharide units ( simple sugars ) by splitting off water (two equivalents of water). The monosaccharide units are covalently linked in the trisaccharide via two glycosidic bonds . The trisaccharides belong to the group of oligosaccharides .

If at least one monosaccharide unit is not bound via its anomeric carbon atom, it is a reducing trisaccharide.
