Maltose (/ˈmɔːltoʊs/ or /ˈmɔːltoʊz/), also known as maltobiose or malt sugar, is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose joined with an α(1→4) bond, formed from a condensation reaction.

Turanose is a reducing disaccharide.

Sucralose is an artificial sweetener and sugar substitute.

Isomalt is a sugar substitute, a type of sugar alcohol, used primarily for its sugar-like physical properties.

Lactitol is a sugar alcohol used as a replacement bulk sweetener for low calorie foods with approximately 40% of the sweetness of sugar.

Gentiobiose is a disaccharide composed of two units of D-glucose joined with a β(1->6) linkage.

Sucrose is a common, naturally occurring carbohydrate found in many plants and plant parts.

Nigerose, also known as sakebiose, is an unfermentable sugar obtained by partial hydrolysis of nigeran, a polysaccharide found in black mold, but is also readily extracted from the dextrans found in rice molds and many other fermenting microorganisms, such as L.

Trehalose, also known as mycose or tremalose, is a natural alpha-linked disaccharide formed by an α,α-1,1-glucoside bond between two α-glucose units.

Lactulose is a non-absorbable sugar used in the treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy.

Maltitol is a sugar alcohol (a polyol) used as a sugar substitute.

Melibiose is a reducing disaccharide formed by an alpha-1,6 linkage between galactose and glucose (D-Gal-α(1→6)-D-Glc).

Vicianose is a disaccharide.

Robinose is a disaccharide composed of 6″-O-α-rhamnopyranosyl-β-galactopyranoside.

Sophorose is a disaccharide.

3α-Mannobiose is a disaccharide composed of two mannose molecules connected by α(1→3) glycosidic bond.

Acarviosin is a sugar composed of cyclohexitol linked to a 4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-glucopyranose.

Galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose, commonly known as alpha gal, is a carbohydrate found in most organisms' cell membranes.

Xylobiose is a disaccharide of xylose monomers with a beta-1,4-bond between them.

N-Acetyllactosamine also known as 2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-4-O-hexopyranosylhexopyranose is a nitrogen containing disaccharide.

Cellobiose is a disaccharide with the formula [HOCH2CHO(CHOH)3]2O.

Sucrose octaacetate is an acetylated derivative of sucrose.

Sucrose acetoisobutyrate (SAIB) is an emulsifier and has E number E444.

Laminaribiose is a disaccharide which is used notably in the agricultural field and as an antiseptic.

Allolactose is a disaccharide similar to lactose.

Isomaltose is a disaccharide similar to maltose, but with a α-(1-6)-linkage instead of the α-(1-4)-linkage.

Melibiulose is a disaccharide formed from fructose and galactose similar to melibiose

Neohesperidose is the disaccharide which is present in some flavonoid glycosides.

Isomaltulose is a disaccharide carbohydrate composed of glucose and fructose linked by an alpha-1,6-glycosidic bond (chemical name: 6-0-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructose).
