The two suffixes that scientific sugar names end with would be -ose and -saccharide. Most often, when chemicals are sugars their names end in -ose, such as glucose and fructose. However, -saccharide is a Greek term which means sugar. Given that their scientific nomenclature are complex, monosaccharides and disaccharides often end in the suffix -ose.
