Maltose Extra Pure is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units, commonly known as malt sugar. This extra pure grade ensures exceptional quality and consistency, making it ideal for use in biochemical research, fermentation studies, and laboratory analysis. In the food industry, maltose is valued for its mild sweetness and is often used in brewing, baking, and confectionery to promote fermentation and enhance flavor. It also plays a role in energy metabolism studies and is frequently used as a carbon source in microbiological media. Its stability and solubility in water make it easy to incorporate into various formulations, offering a dependable ingredient for scientific and industrial use where high purity is essential.
