Maltose Analysis Services

Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units linked by an α-1,4 glycosidic bond. It is a key intermediate in the enzymatic breakdown of starch and glycogen and plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism, fermentation processes, and food formulation. Maltose is widely present in germinating seeds, malted grains, and fermented foods, as well as in various biochemical systems where carbohydrate metabolism is active. Sensitive and precise analytical methods are necessary to characterize maltose in complex biological or industrial matrices.
