We have these hair like protrusions, these hair like projections known as microvilli. And these microvilli together are known as the Brush Water. And they contain these digestive enzymes that can break down disaccharides into their individual sugars. Now, the three most common disaccharides in the human body are maltose, sucrose, and lactose. Now, maltose is basically obtained by the digestion of the carbohydrate we call starch. So our body breaks down starch into maltose.
