Detailed explanation-1: -Maltose consists of two molecules of glucose that are linked by an -(1, 4′) glycosidic bond. Maltose results from the enzymatic hydrolysis of amylose, a homopolysaccharide (Section 26.9), by the enzyme amylase.
Detailed explanation-2: -A dehydration reaction joins two glucose molecules to form maltose. The formula for glucose is C6H12O6.
Detailed explanation-3: -Maltose is produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch (a homopolysaccharide) catalyzed by the enzyme amylase. Maltose is further hydrolyzed by the enzyme maltase to produce two molecules of d-glucose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Two glucose molecules react to form the disaccharide maltose.
Detailed explanation-5: -Maltose is a disaccharide. In maltose, two units of glucose are joined in a condensation reaction by an alpha-1, 4 glycosidic linkage. Maltose is produced by the hydrolysis of starch and can be hydrolysed to glucose by the action of the enzyme maltase.
