CAS 34620-77-4: Maltohexaose
Description:Maltohexaose is a carbohydrate composed of six glucose units linked together by α(1→4) glycosidic bonds, making it a member of the maltooligosaccharides family. It is a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water, exhibiting a sweet taste. Maltohexaose is produced through the enzymatic breakdown of starch by amylase, and it is commonly found in various food products as a sweetener or a source of energy. Its molecular structure allows it to be easily digested and absorbed by the human body, making it a useful ingredient in nutritional supplements and sports drinks. In addition to its sweetening properties, maltohexaose can also serve as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. It is important to note that maltohexaose does not have a significant impact on blood sugar levels compared to simple sugars, making it a favorable option for those managing their carbohydrate intake. Overall, maltohexaose is valued for its functional properties in food science and nutrition.
