Maltose is the second member of an important biochemical series of glucose chains. The addition of another glucose unit yields maltotriose; further additions will produce dextrins (also called maltodextrins) and eventually starch (glucose polymer).

Maltose can be broken down into two glucose molecules by hydrolysis. In living organisms, the enzyme maltase can achieve this very rapidly. In the laboratory, heating with a strong acid for several minutes will produce the same result.

The production of maltose from germinating cereals, such as barley, is an important part of the brewing process. When barley is malted, it is brought into a condition in which the concentration of maltose-producing amylases has been maximized. Mashing is the process by which these amylases convert the cereal's starches into maltose. Metabolism of maltose by yeast during fermentation then leads to the production of ethanol and carbon dioxide.

FAQs of Maltose 69-79-4:

Q: How is maltose powder produced from corn starch?

A: Maltose powder is manufactured by enzymatically hydrolyzing maize (corn) starch, breaking down the starch into maltose using specialized enzymes. The resulting mixture is purified, concentrated, and dried into a fine, white powder suitable for food-grade applications.

Q: What are the main uses of maltose powder in food and pharmaceutical industries?

A: Maltose powder is widely used as a sweetener and texture enhancer in baked goods, confectionery, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. Its high purity and solubility allow it to easily blend with other ingredients, improving taste and consistency without altering overall product flavor significantly.

Q: When should I use maltose instead of other sugars in recipes or formulations?

A: Maltose is often chosen when a mild, non-overpowering sweetness and good moisture retention are desired, such as in bakery products, candies, and certain beverages. It is especially useful when product shelf stability and consistency are important.

Q: Where is this maltose powder produced and supplied from?

A: This maltose powder is produced, exported, and supplied directly from China by a recognized manufacturer with expertise in maize-derived ingredients and international food-grade standards.

Q: What is the benefit of using maltose derived from maize starch?

A: Maize-sourced maltose ensures a gluten-free profile and traceability, meeting dietary restrictions. Its stable composition supports consistent performance in recipes, while the sweet flavor enhances palatability without excessive calories or unwanted residues.

Q: How should I store maltose powder to maintain its quality?

A: Store the powder in its original PP bag with inner liner, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage helps preserve its two-year shelf life and prevent clumping or degradation.

Q: What is the typical process for incorporating maltose powder into commercial recipes?

A: Maltose powder dissolves easily in water, making it convenient to add during food processing or mixing stages. It can be blended with dry or liquid ingredients according to the specific product formulation, ensuring even distribution and optimal sweetening.
