Disaccharides Sentence Examples
disaccharides
These disaccharides must be broken down by enzymes into two simple sugars so that they can be absorbed by the intestine.
The enzymes lactase, maltase, and isomaltase (or sucrase) are needed to break down the disaccharides; when one or more is inadequate, the result is carbohydrate intolerance.
The disaccharides maltose, sucrose, and lactose cannot be absorbed until they have been separated into simple sugar molecules by their corresponding enzymes present in the cells lining the intestinal tract.
