In foods that are high in carbs like potatoes. Also in germinating seeds.
In barley
Sucrose, Maltose, and Lactose.
Maltose is also known as malt sugar, which is usually used for cooking. This ingredient can be found in many cake and confetti recipes. Many recipes can be found online, such as the 'Yummy' website.
The main function of maltose is to digest starch . Starch is commonly used in plants to store glucose and maltose will serve as the intermediary product of the digestion of starch.
Gingers...
yes
maltase is found in intestinal juice and hydrolyzes maltose to glucose. Substrate = maltose Product = glucose
The composition of maltose is 2 glucose units. This is because glucose is the 'primary' composition in a monosaccharide and maltose is found in Disaccharide, which is the 'secondary' composition. ~Geek
Glucose
The actual diagrams of the molecules in helix and pleated forms can be found on Wikipedia by searching Maltose. This site would not let me import the pics. sorry
Any food high in carbohydrates, it can't be found naturally
Amylase is the most commonly thought of. This is the enzyme that breaks down starch into maltose.
Yes. Maltose is a monosaccharide. Its chemical formula is C6H12O6, just like Glucose.
