Explain the role of maltose in the chemical digestion of carbohydrates. Maltose is an important intermediate product in the digestion of carbohydrates, particularly starch. The enzyme amylase, found in the saliva and small intestine, breaks down starch into maltose.
21 Νοε 2023 · In this lesson, learn what maltose is, and what its uses and functions are. Understand the maltose structure and what maltose is made of and where...
30 Νοε 2023 · The digestion of carbohydrates takes place in the mouth and the small intestine. Amylase is a carbohydrase that hydrolyses (breaks down) starch into maltose. Maltose is then hydrolysed into glucose by the enzyme maltase. Amylase is made in the salivary glands, the pancreas and the small intestine.
11 Φεβ 2020 · Tools. Abstract. Scope. This review represents a focus on the structure and properties of the common nutritional disaccharides (lactose, maltose, and sucrose) in health and disease. The aim is to provide a comprehensive reference source related to the role of disaccharides in human nutrition. Methods and results.

In organisms, maltose is decomposed into two glucose molecules when exposed to the enzyme maltase (α-glucosidase) present in the digestive juices of animals and humans. Genetically determined absence of maltase in the mucous coat of human intestine causes congenital intolerance to maltose, a severe disease that requires maltose, starch and ...
Properties. Like glucose, maltose is a reducing sugar, because the ring of one of the two glucose units can open to present a free aldehyde group; the other one cannot because of the nature of the glycosidic bond. Maltose can be broken down to glucose by the maltase enzyme, which catalyses the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond. [citation needed]
