Detailed explanation-1: -Sucrose is a disaccharide and is easily split by hydrolysis into the two monosaccharides (hexoses) glucose and fructose (eqn (1)).
Detailed explanation-2: -Fructose is a type of sugar known as a monosaccharide, or a “single” sugar, like glucose. Monosaccharides can bond together to form disaccharides, the most common of which is sucrose, or “table sugar.” Sucrose is 50% fructose and 50% glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monosaccharides are also called simple sugars since they are the most fundamental type of sugar. The term table sugar or granulated sugar actually refers to sucrose, which is a disaccharide made of two monosaccharides-glucose and fructose. Etymology: Ancient Greek (mónos, meaning “alone, single”) + saccharide.
