Carbohydrates consist of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) with a ratio of hydrogen twice that of carbon and oxygen. Carbohydrates such as sugars, starches, cellulose and many other compounds are found in living organisms and play many important roles. In their basic form, carbohydrates are simple sugars or monosaccharides. These simple sugars can combine with each other to form more complex carbohydrates. HiMedia offers a wide variety of carbohydrates including simple monosaccharides and disaccharides along with longer chain oligosaccharides and
