Principles of Biochemistry/The Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides, Disaccharides and Polysaccharides. Earlier the name carbohydrate was used in chemistry for any compound with the formula Cm(H2O)n. Following this definition, some chemists considered formaldehyde CH2O to be the simplest carbohydrate, while others claimed that title for glycolaldehyde. Today the term is generally understood in the biochemistry sense, which excludes compounds with only one or two carbons.
