Monosaccharides like glucose fructose etc., Disaccharides like sucrose, lactose etc., Polyols like sorbitol, erythritol etc., Oligosaccharides like fructo-oligosaccharides, Starch polysaccharides including amylose, amylopectin and malto-dextrins, and Non - starch polysaccharides like cellulose, pectin and hemicellulose etc.
