Types of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates (or carbohydrates) are usually divided between sugars (monosaccharidas such as glucose, galactosa or fructose) and saccharides, which are polymers of sugars (polysaccharides).

Only Monosaccharidas and disacharidas have a sweetness. Polysaccharides, like starch, are insipid.
Monosaccharidas (simple [...]

Carbohydrates are a class of organic molecules containing a carbonyl group (aldehyde or Ketone) and several hydroxyl groups (-OH). Carbohydrates were historically called carbohydrates. Their chemical formula is based on the model Cn (H2O) p (hence the title history). However, this model is not valid for all carbohydrates, which provide for some atoms of nitrogen [...]
