| Simple sugars, the monosaccharides and disaccharides, are very easy for human bodies to use as a source of energy. |
| Among them, the most effective in preserving a more native-like structure are the disaccharides sucrose and trehalose in dry films and the polymer dextran in wet films. |
| As a consequence the sentence referring to exclusion of mono and disaccharides was deleted from the definition. |
| Remarkably, this ability appears to stem from a small number of common mechanisms involving accumulation of two disaccharides, trehalose and sucrose. |
| The acronym stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. |
| Common disaccharides such as sucrose and lactose are digested through the same physiological process. |
