What is the product of maltose hydrolysis
The product of maltose hydrolysis is glucose, maltose is a disaccharide, which consists of two glucose molecules connected by a1,4 glycosidic bond, when maltose comes into contact with water, under suitable temperature and acidic or alkaline conditions, maltose will undergo hydrolysis reaction and decompose into two independent glucose molecules. Glucose is a monosaccharide, one of the most common sugars in nature, has a sweet taste and can be converted into energy in living organisms.The hydrolysis process of maltose is very important in both industry and biology.For example, during fermentation, maltose can be broken down by enzymes secreted by microorganisms to provide energy for microbial growth.In addition, maltose has reducing properties, which means that maltose can bring other compounds reduction.
