    Through glycosidic bond.

    Explanation:

    Disaccharide:

    Disaccharide is simple polysaccharide. It is formed when two monosaccharides combine together. The monosaccharides are combine through dehydration reaction as a result glycosidic bond is formed between two monosccharides with removal of water molecule.

    The reaction is also called condensation reaction.

    There are two types of disaccharides:

    Reducing disaccharides

    These are hemiacetal and have reactive carbonyl group. They can be oxidized to other products.

    Non - reducing disaccharides

    These are acetals and can not be easily oxidized like reducing disaccharides.

    Glycosidic bond:

    It is covalent bond formed between the carbohydrate and another molecule such as monosaccharide.

    This bond can be alpha or beta glycosidic bond.
