👉 The term "disaccharidase" refers to a type of enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of carbohydrates. Disaccharides are carbohydrate molecules composed of two monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) joined together by a sugar bond. The enzymes responsible for breaking down these disaccharides include glycosyltransferases, which transfer the sugar bond from one molecule to another; and decarboxylase enzymes, which break down the sugars into their respective car
