Examples of maltose

• Free galactose does not accumulate during germination, but other reducing sugars, including fructose, glucose and maltose do accumulate.

• The candy is made of maltose starch syrup, nori, powdered green tea, soybean flour, and whitebean paste.

• Lactic acid is produced actively without liberation of gas from glucose, fructose, mannose, sucrose, maltose, trehalose, raffinose, inulin, mannitol, sorbitol and alpha-methyl glucoside.

• The standard malting process is modified to maximise the maltose or sugar content but minimise residual alpha amylase content.

• Maltitol is made by hydrogenation of maltose obtained from starch.

• This is possible because these enzymes remove two glucose units (i.e. one maltose molecule) at a time from the end of the starch molecule.

• The systematic name of this enzyme class is maltose 1-epimerase.

• The product of the enzymatic digestion of alpha-limit dextrin by isomaltase is maltose.
