Stachyose is a common oligosaccharide found in beans, peas, and other legumes that humans cannot digest but are broken down by bacteria in the large intestine, causing gas and bloating. Dextrantriose and melezitose are not typically found in beans and are not known for causing flatulence. Maltose is a disaccharide commonly found in grains and is digested by humans without involvement of intestinal bacteria.
