Disaccharides trivial names

Many of the naturally occurring disaccharides have well established trivial names. 

It should be mentioned that many of the disaccharides have well-established trivial names. Some of them are listed below, together with their abbreviations ... 

Diosylceramides may be named systematically, c.g., 6-D-galactosyl-(1 fa 4)-j6-D-glucosyl-(l fa l)-ceramide. However, it is often more convenient to use the trivial name of the disaccharide and call the structure given above laclosylceramide (LacCer). 

In the nomenclature of oligosaccharides, trivial names are still used for a number of substances (e.g. maltose, cellobiose or trehalose. Figure 4.5). In the case of reducing disaccharides, systematic nomenclature takes as its basis the name of the monosaccharide with a free hemiacetal hydroxyl group, which is preceded by the name of the substituted monosaccharide and the respective anomeric configuration is indicated (a- or P-). Disaccharide maltose (Figure 4.5), formed by condensation of...
