What is Maltose?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Maltose is a glycosylglucose consisting of two D-glucopyranose units connected by an alpha-(14)-linkage. It has a role as a sweetening agent, a mouse metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a maltooligosaccharide and a glycosylglucose.

Maltose is a sugar that exists in wheat.
