Preferred Label : carbohydrates;
IUPAC definition : Originally, compounds such as aldoses and ketoses having the stoichiometric formula
C sub i n /i /sub (H sub 2 /sub O) sub i n /i /sub , hence 'hydrates of carbon'.
The generic term carbohydrate includes monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides
as well as substances derived from monosaccharides by reduction of the carbonyl group
(alditols), by oxidation of one or more terminal groups to carboxylic acids, or by
