Monosaccharides - glucose, fructose and galactose - is simple carbohydrates, they are readily dissolved in water, it is important for the formation of glycogen in the liver, brain and muscle power, maintain a normal blood sugar level. Disaccharides - sucrose, lactose and maltose – have a sweet taste, the body then split them into two molecules of monosaccharides.
