Description

Application

• Fecal microbial and metabolic characteristics of swine from birth to market.: This research analyzes the microbial and metabolic profiles of swine at various life stages. ᴅ-(+)-Maltose is utilized in the culture media to study microbial growth, providing insights into the gut microbiota of livestock and its implications for animal health and productivity (He et al., 2023).


• Quantification of disaccharides in solution using isomer-selective ultraviolet photodissociation of hydrogen-bonded clusters in the gas phase.: This study presents a novel method for quantifying disaccharides, including ᴅ-(+)-Maltose, using ultraviolet photodissociation. The method provides precise measurements of disaccharide concentrations, beneficial for chemists involved in analytical biochemistry (Nagai et al., 2023).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Maltose is a disaccharide containing two glucose molecules with an α(1→4) glycosidic linkage. Maltose can be derived from starch in food through the action of amylase. Maltose can be found in many food products, including beer, cereals, and pasta.
