Detailed explanation-1: -Two monosaccharides undergo a condensation reaction to form a disaccharide. The bond that is formed after the condensation reaction is called glycosidic bonds. Examples of these condensation reactions are the formation of lactose from glucose and galactose, and the formation of sucrose from fructose and glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -Disaccharides. Disaccharides (di-= “two”) form when two monosaccharides join together via a dehydration reaction, also known as a condensation reaction or dehydration synthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -A disaccharide (also called a double sugar or biose) is the sugar formed when two monosaccharides are joined by glycosidic linkage. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides are simple sugars soluble in water. Three common examples are sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Disaccharides are those carbohydrates that on hydrolysis with acids or enzymes give two molecules of monosaccharides which can either be the same or different. The oxide linkage is formed after the loss of the water molecule and then the two monosaccharides are formed by that linkage.
