HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Raffinose is a trisaccharide in which glucose acts as a monosaccharide bridge between galactose and fructose. It has both and glycosidic bonds and can therefore be hydrolyzed to d-galactose and sucrose via enzymes with -glycosidic activity, and to melibiose and d-fructose via enzymes with -glycosidic activity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Raffinose is a trisaccharide composed of galactose, glucose, and fructose. It can be found in beans, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, other vegetables, and whole grains.

Detailed explanation-3: -The so-called raffinose family of oligosaccharides comprises raffinose (trisaccharide), stachyose (tetrasaccharide), and verbascose (pentasaccharide), all of which occur in the seeds of legumes, as well as in different parts of plants.
