Abstract

The original classification of polysaccharides, which can still be found in books, called monosaccharides or simple sugars osas, while osides corresponded to complex carbohydrates made up of several monosaccharides (the same or different) to thus encompass everything that is not be a monosaccharide. These endings do not agree with the type of saccharide to which they refer, among the endings in -osa we logically have many monosaccharides, also disaccharides and oligosaccharides, among others. There is no fairly coherent way to name carbohydrates, so we will have to be careful, especially with the most complex ones.
