Now when you eat something like a piece of onion bread, enzymes start breaking down disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides into monosaccharides so they can be absorbed.
Maltose is another disaccharide and this one is two glucose molecules linked together, and it's found in molasses which can be used as a substrate to ferment beer.
It's known as milk sugar because it's only found in nature when it links with glucose to form lactose, a disaccharide found in the milk of mammals, which includes cow and human breast milk.
