What Are Saccharides sugars?

They are ...

Natural sugars, also called saccharides or carbohydrates, are polyhydroxylated aldehydes or ketones with the brute chemical formula Cn(H2O)m where n and m may be different. They are named by the suffix “-ose”.

Corn syrup

sucrose

Fructose, or fruit sugar, is a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants, where glucose is often bonded to form the sucrose disaccharide. As well as glucose and galactose, it is one of the three dietary monosaccharides that are absorbed directly into the blood during digestion

Corn syrup is a viscous odorless colorless liquid. Denser than water. An aqueous solution of glucose, maltose and other substances derived by hydrolysis of cornstarch. Used as a sweetener in foods

Glucose is the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells. Glucose comes from the foods we eat or the body can make it from other substances

Sucrose appears as white odorless crystalline or powdery solid. Denser than water. Sucrose is a glycosyl glycoside formed by glucose and fructose units joined by an acetal oxygen

Glucose

Glucose is used to treat very low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), most often in people with diabetes mellitus. glucose works by quickly increasing the amount of glucose in your blood. Glucose is also used to provide carbohydrate calories to a person who cannot eat because of illness, trauma, or other medical condition

Corn syrup

Corn syrup is used in the production of high-fructose corn syrup, in which glucose is changed to fructose through the addition of an enzyme called d-xylose isomerase. High-fructose corn syrup is widely used in the food industry, notably in the manufacture of soft drinks, because it is considerably cheaper than sucrose

Sucrose

Sucrose is used in foods and soft drinks as a sweetener, in syrup processing, in invert sugar, confectionery, preserves and jams, demulcent, medicinal products, and caramel. Sucrose is also a chemical carrier for detergents, emulsifiers, and other derivatives of saccharose
