Detailed explanation-1: -When carbohydrate is broken down into its component sugar molecules by hydrolysis, the term can be called saccharification. In a way, this process is generally the degradation of substance when water is added during digestion process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Disaccharides contain two sugars. An example of a disaccharide is sucrose, which is composed of glucose and fructose. After consuming sucrose, our body needs to digest it through a process called hydrolysis. During hydrolysis, water is added into the disaccharide to break it apart.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hydrolysis of complex carbohydrates to simple sugars is catalysed by enzymes called carbohydrases and also by dilute acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -It makes more sense to define complex and simple carbs this way: Complex carbs: Carbs found in whole, unprocessed foods, including fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains. Simple carbs: Sugars and starches that have been refined and stripped of their natural fiber and nutrients.

Detailed explanation-5: -The major products of the complete hydrolysis of disaccharides and polysaccharides are three monosaccharide units: glucose, fructose, and galactose. These are absorbed through the wall of the small intestine into the bloodstream.
