Disaccharides are found in most foods from pasta sauce to baked goods. When sugars or carbohydrates link with two monosaccharaides, it will create disaccharides.
The primary function of disaccharides is as a nutritional source of monosaccharides. Many of the sugars found in foodstuffs are disaccharides.

Disaccharides contain two sugar units. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose (table sugar), lactose (found in milk), and maltose (found in malted drinks).
Food sources of disaccharides include table sugar (sucrose) found in fruits and vegetables, lactose found in dairy products like milk and yogurt, and maltose found in grains like barley. These disaccharides are broken down in the body into simpler sugars for energy.
Sucrose, Maltose, and Lactose.
vegetables, fruits, citrus fruits, milk, and beans
Lactose,sucrose,maltose etc.. (they built up of two sugar units)
In the brush border of the small intestine
Disaccharides are not mixtures.
Monosaccharides,Disaccharides and Polysaccharides.
The site where digestion of disaccharides takes place is in the mouth. An example of disaccharides is lactose, maltose, and sucrose.
Glucose, fructose, and galactose make up disaccharides.
