CAS 6363-53-7: Maltose, monohydrate
Description:Maltose, monohydrate, with the CAS number 6363-53-7, is a disaccharide sugar composed of two glucose units linked by an α(1→4) glycosidic bond. It is a white, crystalline solid that is soluble in water, forming a sweet-tasting solution. Maltose is commonly found in malted foods and beverages, as it is produced during the enzymatic breakdown of starch. The monohydrate form indicates that each molecule of maltose is associated with one molecule of water, which can influence its physical properties, such as solubility and stability. Maltose has a molecular formula of C12H22O11·H2O and is utilized in various applications, including food production, brewing, and as a carbohydrate source in fermentation processes. It is important to note that maltose does not have the same sweetness level as sucrose (table sugar) and is metabolized differently in the body. Additionally, maltose can be further hydrolyzed into glucose, which is readily absorbed and utilized by the body for energy.
