1892 E. F. Smith tr. V. von Richter Org. Chem. (ed. 2) 507 Only the disaccharides of the hexoses, C₆H₁₂O₆, are known. They consist of two molecules of the glucoses or monoses..and therefore are called bioses.

1903 Jrnl. Chem. Soc. 84 i. 713 By the action of alcoholic hydrogen chloride on bioses, hydrolysis occurred and glucosides of the monoses were formed.

1935 R. S. Tipson & E. T. Stiller in B. Harrow & C. P. Sherwin Textbk. Biochem. ii. 77 (heading) The action of alkalis on monoses.

1948 W. Pigman Chem. Carbohydrates i. 17 Carbohydrates are usually classified according to the number of carbon atoms, e.g. pentoses, hexitols, heptonic acids. ‘Monose’, however, has been used as a short term for the preferred term ‘monosaccharide’, and also as a superfluous synonym for ‘formaldehyde’.

1955 B. C. L. Kemp Elem. Org. Chem. (new ed.) xv. 208 Carbohydrates may be divided into three groups: Monosaccharides (also called monosaccharoses or monoses), Di- and Tri-saccharides (disaccharoses, dioses, etc.), and Polysaccharides (polysaccharoses or polyoses).

1988 Canad. Jrnl. Chem. 66 2787 Eight novel oligoglycosides..have been isolated from the bulbs of Muscari armeniacum and Muscari botryoides... The monose units of their di-, tri-, tetra-, or hexasaccharide chain are beta- d-glucopyranose, alpha- l-arabinopyranose, [etc.].
