5 Main Groups of Polysaccharides: 1. Starch. 1  Chemically, consists of long chains of glucose (a monosaccharide, see above) molecules. 2  Formed by plants during photosynthesis. 3  Present in many plant-based food sources, such as root vegetables. 4  e.g. potatoes, cereals e.g. and pulses.
Simple sugars. All carbohydrates are made up of units of sugar (also called saccharide units). Carbohydrates that contain only one sugar unit (monosaccharides) or two sugar units (disaccharides) are referred to as simple sugars. Simple sugars are sweet in taste and are broken down quickly in the body to release energy.imple sugars. All carbohydrates are made up of units of sugar (also called saccharide units).
