Molecular Expressions Photo Gallery: The Sugar Collection The carbohydrate class of biochemicals includes starches, sugars, gums, and dextrins. These biochemicals share a common feature of being composed of carbon and water in equimolar amounts, hence the name carbohydrate. The simplest carbohydrates are the sugars, usually sweet in taste, that contain names ending with the suffix "ose." Sugars are generally considered to be comprised of three different classes of compounds, namely the monosaccharides, the monosaccharides, and the trisaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars, and a disaccharide is composed of two of these compounds, minus a single water molecule. Trisaccharides, which consist of three monosaccharides, or hexoses, linked by glycosidic bonds, are quite rare compared to other sugar compounds, but can be found as raffinose in sugar beets, cottonseed, and molasses.
