In this video I have explained all high yield points about the digestion of carbohydrates. The major carbohydrates in the diet are starch, lactose and sucrose. Salivary alpha-amylase digest starch in the mouth into alpha-dextrin. Alpha dextrin further digested into oligosaccharides, maltose and isomaltose by pancreatic alpha-amylase. Specific disaccharidases like maltase, isomlatase, lactase and sucrose will take care of maltose, isomaltose, lactose and sucrose, respectively. The oligosaccharides are digested by alpha-glucosidase into individual glucose molecules one at a time.
Let me introduce myself to you!!

- St. Kitts & Nevis
- I'm a physician doctor with an MD degree. My passion for teaching has always been appreciated by students with whom I have shared my knowledge. I'm a passionate teacher of medical biochemistry and would like to share my knowledge about this beautiful subject with all those who is interested to learn to understand the cellular metabolic events and to understand the metabolic disease process. I would like to learn new things by keeping myself updated with current research in the field. Let us share the knowledge each other!!
