Detailed explanation-1: -Maltose is a disaccharide made up of two alpha D glucose in which C1 of first glucose unit is bonded to C4 of second glucose unit as shown figure below. The bond that joined two alpha glucose unit is called alpha 1, 4 glycosidic linkage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Maltose and isomaltose are the disaccharides (glucose-glucose) produced as end products of starch digestion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Maltase is a disaccharide having a-(1->4) link connecting two glucose units that are used to dissolve maltose. The rate of hydrolysis is determined by the size of the substrate (or the carbohydrate size).
Detailed explanation-4: -Maltose (/ˈmɔːltoʊs/ or /ˈmɔːltoʊz/), also known as maltobiose or malt sugar, is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose joined with an (1→4) bond. In the isomer isomaltose, the two glucose molecules are joined with an (1→6) bond.
