glucoamylase, which further break down oligosaccharides. other brush border enzymes are maltase, sucrase and lactase. lactase is absent in some adult humans and, for them, lactose (a disaccharide), as well as most polysaccharides, is not digested in the small intestine. some carbohydrates, such as cellulose
, are not digested at all, despite being made of multiple glucose units. this is because the cellulose is made out of beta-glucose, making the inter-monosaccharidal bindings different from the ones present in starch, which consists of alpha-glucose. humans lack the enzyme for splitting the beta-glucose-bonds...
