Maltose (Cat No.:I019920) is a disaccharide made up of two glucose units joined together by an α-1,4-glycosidic bond. It is commonly found in grains, such as barley and malted barley, and serves as a source of energy during germination. Maltose has a mildly sweet taste and is less sweet than sucrose. It is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a sweetener, a fermentation substrate for brewing, and as a component in various food products such as candies, baked goods, and infant formulas.
