What is Classification of Dietary Carbohydrates about?
Carbohydrates can be classified into sugars, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides based on their degree of polymerization. Sugars include monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polyols. Oligosaccharides have 3-9 monosaccharide units and include maltodextrins and raffinose. Polysaccharides have more than 9 units and include starch and non-starch polysaccharides like cellulose. Classification systems have been proposed based on physiology, but these have limitations and newer terms like resistant starch better
