CAS 34612-38-9: Maltotetraose
Description:Maltotetraose is a carbohydrate, specifically a tetrasaccharide composed of four glucose units linked by α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. It is a product of starch hydrolysis and is commonly found in malted foods and beverages. Maltotetraose is characterized by its sweet taste, which is less intense than that of glucose or maltose. It is soluble in water, making it useful in various food applications, particularly in brewing and baking, where it can contribute to flavor and fermentation processes. The molecular formula of maltotetraose reflects its composition of glucose units, and its structure allows it to be further broken down by enzymes such as amylase into simpler sugars. Maltotetraose is also of interest in research and industrial applications due to its role in carbohydrate metabolism and its potential prebiotic effects. Overall, it serves as an important intermediate in the digestion of starch and has various applications in the food industry.
