A simple sugar (carbohydrate) composed of six monosaccharide units linked together; a type of oligosaccharide.
From Greek 'hexa-' (six) and 'biose' (a living unit, referring to sugar molecules); chemistry term for six-unit sugar chains.
Hexabiose is smaller than starch but bigger than simple sugar—think of it as sugar molecules holding hands in a chain of exactly six, which chemistry labs can now synthesize to study how our bodies digest sugars.
