Honey is a mixture of many compounds, some of which are disaccharides.
A di-saccharide is a carbohydrate formed by two mono-saccharides. Sucrose, common table sugar, is a typical example of a disaccharide.
Honey gets the majority of its flavor from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose (approximately 70% of honey is fructose and glucose), and contains the disaccharide sucrose (~1%) - which is made from the combination of fructose and glucose.

What is the simple sugar in milk?
Lactose is the main sugar found in milk. This is a disaccharide of glucose and galactose.
Double sugar formed from the combination of two simple sugars?
Sucrose, which is table sugar, is a disaccharide composed of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose chemically combined. Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose monosaccharides chemically combined.
What is it called when two sugar molecules bond with each other?
Glucose and fructose chemically combine to form the disaccharide sucrose.
Is table sugar a simple sugar?
No "Table sugar" is called in chemistry saccharose or sucrose; the chemical formula is C12H22O11. This is a disaccharide, not a simple (monosaccharide) sugar.
What is the main difference between a monosaccharide and a disaccharide?
A monosaccharide is just one carbon ring and is very soluble , example : glucose. A disaccharide consists of 2 carbon rings and is partially soluble , example : lactose ( galactose + glucose = lactose)
Sucrose table sugar C12H22O11 is a disaccharide formed when?
yes table sugar is a disaccharide.
What are the simple sugars made up of?
Starches... Starches are large molecules made of small simple sugar molecules.
In order to break a disaccharide down into simple sugar units?
water molecules must be added to each bond
Which one of the following choices is a simple sugar A Glucose B Orange juice C Lactose D Chocolate?
A. Glucose is a simple sugar (a monosaccharide). Lactose is also a sugar, but it is a disaccharide made up of galactose and glucose.
What sugar is lactose?
The type of carbohydrate that lactose is a disaccharide. Lactose is the sugar that occurs naturally in cow's and human milk.
