Disaccharides By Ayman Elsamanoudy 2 Objectives (ILOs) I. to understand the concept and importances of glycosidic bond. II. to study the definition, classification of disaccharides III. to know the biological importance of different disaccharides. IV.To know the natural sources of disaccharides. V. to understand how any disorder in disaccharides digestion or absorption leads to disease. 3 Glycosides . A glycoside is a compound formed by binding of a sugar and the hydroxyl group of a second compound which, may be sugar (glycon ) or may be not a sugar (aglycon). . Disaccharides → Sugar + Sugar. . Methyl glycoside → Sugar + Methyl alcohol. . Cardiac glycoside → Galactose + Steroid. . Sugars are joined to alcohols and amines by glycosidic bonds.
4 Types of glycosidic bond . 1- O-glycosidic bonds : . Monosaccharides can link to each other by O-glycosidic bonds to form disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. . 2-N- glycosidic bond. . The anomeric carbon atom of a sugar can be linked to the nitrogen atom of an amine by an N- glycosidic bond.
5 . Naming of glycosidic bonds: . Glycosidic bonds between sugars are named according : to the numbers of the connected carbons & the position of the anomeric hydroxyl group of the sugar. So, If this anomeric hydroxyl group is in the α configuration, the linkage is an α-bond. . If it is in the β-configuration, the linkage is a β- bond 6 .Examples of glycosides: . Disaccharides as maltose, lactose and sucrose. . Polysaccharides . Glycolipids. . Glycoproteins. . Nucleotides as ATP, CTP, GTP where the aglycone is purine and pyrimidine bases (N- glycosides). . Cardiac glycosides as digitalis which is used in treatment of heart failure where the aglycone is a
steroid7 . Disaccharides . Disaccharides consist of two sugars joined by an O-glycosidic bond. . The most abundant disaccharides are sucrose, lactose and maltose. . Other disaccharides include isomaltose, cellobiose and trehalose. . The disaccharides can be classified into : Homodisaccharides Heterodisaccharides.
8 Other classification of disaccharides
(1)Reducing disaccharide
(2) Non-Reducing disaccharide
. Princible : presence of free aldehyde or ketone group (a free reducing carbonyl group) is the cause of reducing property. REDUCING SUGARS •When Benedicts or Fehling test is performed with the disaccharides maltose and sucrose, the following result is obtained:

So, mixture of its component monosaccharides has of + 66.5° i.e. dextrorotatory a net negative rotation

25 Digestion of lactose •The intestinal villi secrete an enzyme called lactase (β-D- galactosidase) to digest lactose, and produce glucose and galactose, which can be absorbed.
. Lactose intolerance . More than half of the world’s adults are lactose intolerance. . Lactose intolerance is the inability to metabolize lactose, because the lactase is absent in the intestinal system or its availability is lowered. Lactose intolerance
. In the absence of lactase, lactose remains uncleaved and passes intact into the colon. . The intestinal bacteria quickly switch over to lactose metabolism, and produces large amounts of gases (a mixture of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane). . This, leads to appearance of abdominal symptoms, including stomach cramps(colic), bloating, and flatulence. . Treatment for this disorder is simple to remove lactose from diet. Lactose intolerance
Most adult mammals have low levels of lactase and so much of the lactose they might ingest moves through their digestive tract to the colon, where bacterial fermentation generates large amounts of CO2, H2 and irritating organic acids. These products cause painful digestive upsets known as lactose intolerance.
