Glycosidic linkages in carbohydrates:

| Compound | Linkage type | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Sucrose | -1,-2 | C1 of -glucose + C2 of -fructose |
| Amylose | -1,4 | C1 of -glucose + C4 of next -glucose |
| Lactose | -1,4 | C1 of -D-galactose + C4 of -D-glucose |
| Maltose | -1,4 | C1 of -glucose + C4 of -glucose |

Lactose has a -C₁–C₄ glycosidic linkage between galactose and glucose. This -linkage is also why humans lacking lactase (the enzyme to break this bond) cannot digest lactose (lactose
