Scope note: Compuestos que contienen un azúcar en el que el grupo hidroxilo unido al primer carbono ha sido sustituido por un grupo alcohólico, fenólico o de otro tipo. El nombre específico depende del azúcar que contiene, como glucósido (glucosa), pentósido (pentosa), fructósido (fructosa). Tras la hidrólisis se separan el componente glucídico y no glucídico (aglicona). (Dorland, 28th ed; From Miall's Dictionary of Chemistry, 5th ed).
