Detailed explanation-1: -Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates that contain two or more than two monosaccharides (2-10 units of monosaccharides). Based on the number of sugar units they contain, they are of different types. Trisaccharides, tetrasaccharides, pentasaccharides, etc.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrate molecules are either simple sugars, called monosaccharides; or polymers of two to ten sugars, called oligosaccharides; or polymers of more than ten sugars, called polysaccharides.
Detailed explanation-3: -Oligosaccharide is the short chain of monosaccharide unit which composed of 3-10 molecules connected by glycosidic linkage. The most common example of oligosaccharide is raffinose. It is a trisaccharide found in many plants and composed of galactose, glucose and fructose.
