Sucrose is the sugar often found in the grocery store and is produced by plants. It is a sugar derived from furanose and glucose.Sucrose is a nonreducing sugar because the O-glycosidic linkage was formed between the anomeric carbons of its monosaccharide components (a-glucose and fructose).

Lactose, found in milk, is formed by connecting ß-D-galactose and a-D-glucose with a ß-1,4 O-glycosidic bond.

Maltose is created by condensation reaction of the two glucoses, forming a a-1,4-O-glycosidic linkage. It is the second member of an important biochemical series of glucose chains.
