Carbohydratum,^[1] sive hydratum carbonii^[2][3] rite descriptum, in chemia organica est biomolecula cuius formula empirica C_m(H₂O)_n est; hoc est, hydratum carbonii in carbonio, hydrogenio, oxygenio consistit, ubi ratio atomica duorum ultimorum est 2:1. In naturae conformatione, hydrata carbonii accuratius aldehyda polyhydroxia et ketona appellantur.

Hydratum carbonii est dictio, quae frequentissime in biochemia adhibetur, ubi idem significat ac saccharidum. Hydrata carbonii (saccharida) in quattuor greges chemicos dividuntur, qui sunt monosaccharida, disaccharida, oligosaccharida, polysaccharida. In universum, monosaccharida et disaccharida, quae sunt minora (inferiore pondere moleculari) carbonii hydrata, usitate saccharida appellantur.^[4] Vocabulum saccharidi a Graeco σάκχαρον 'saccharum' deductum est. Cum scientificum carbohydratorum vocabularium multiplex sit, nomina monosaccharidorum disaccharidorumque saepissime suffixo -osum simpliciter terminantur. Itaque saccharum sanguinis est monosaccharidum glucosum, saccharum mensae est disaccharidum sucrosum, et saccharum lactis est disaccharidum lactosum.

Chemia hydratorum carbonii

Chemia hydratorum carbonii est pars gravis chemiae organicae, et quidem ea, quae magnum ad oeconomiam conferat. Inter praecipuas reactiones organicas quae hydrata carbonii tractant sunt hae:

• Acetalizatio carbohydratorum
• Degradatio Wohliana
• Reactio cyanohydrini
• Reactio Koenigs-Knorriana
• Reactio Nefiana
• Recompositio Amadoriana
• Transformatio Lobry-de Bruyn-van Ekensteiniana
