Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose, and is therefore broken down into these two monosaccharides in the stomach. Galactose is a monosaccharide found in lactose, which is broken down into galactose and glucose in the small intestine. Maltose is a disaccharide made up of two glucose molecules, and is broken down into glucose in the small intestine. Lactose is a disaccharide made up of glucose and galactose, and is broken down into these two monosaccharides in the small intestine. Soluble fiber cannot be digested by humans.
