Digestion. Sucrose digestion does not begin until the sugar reaches the small intestine. Your body cannot absorb polysaccharides as is, so it must first break sucrose down into its component parts.ucrose, commonly known as table sugar, consists of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose.
The connection between the molecules, called an acetal oxygen bridge, makes sucrose a non-reducing sugar, which means itâs less reactive than most other sugars. This doesn't affect its digestion or function in your body, but it makes a difference during cooking. Because it's non-reducing, sucrose can't participate in a chemical change called the Maillard reaction -- this allows other sugars to interact with amino acids in food, turning food brown and boosting its flavor.
