Pretty sure it's possible they've synthesized it already... don't think something like that occurs naturally.

The ones I'm familiar with...
Galactose + Glucose make a Lactose.
Glucose + Fructose make a Sucrose.
Glucose + Glucose make a Maltose.
same atoms, different isomers

Here's a link to others:


Galactose + Fructose= Lactulose

Synthetic sugar indeed.
