Maltose, a traditional sweetener, is not unfamiliar in our daily lives. Whether as a snack or a cooking seasoning, people deeply love maltose for its unique taste and flavor.
Maltose is a common disaccharide produced by the decomposition of starch by amylase in malt. According to the level of maltose content, maltose syrup can be divided into ordinary maltose syrup (maltose content ≤ 60%), high maltose syrup (maltose content 60% ~ 80%) and ultra-high maltose syrup (maltose content ≥ 80%).
As a natural sugar source, maltose has the following potential health benefits:
Energie liefern: Maltose is broken down into glucose in the human body to provide energy for the human body.
Promote intestinal health: Maltose can be used as a “food” for probiotics to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines.
Protect the liver: Studies have shown that maltose may have a certain liver-protecting effect.
Maltose is widely used in the food industry:
Sweetener: Especially in candies, biscuits, cakes and other foods. Its sweetness is mild, not too stimulating, and can extend the shelf life of food.
Fermentation substrate: Maltose is one of the important carbon sources for yeast fermentation, so it plays an important role in the production of fermented foods such as beer, vinegar, and rice wine. Maltose can provide sufficient nutrition for yeast, promote its reproduction and metabolism, and thus improve fermentation efficiency.
Thickener and stabilizer: In some foods, such as ice cream and jam, maltose can be used as a thickener and stabilizer to improve the taste and texture of food. It can absorb moisture, increase food consistency, and help prevent ice crystals formation.
Application in traditional foods: In Asian countries such as China and Japan, maltose is widely used in the production of traditional foods. For example, in China’s candied haws and Japan’s wagashi, maltose is not only used as a sweetener but also as a binder to make the food more elastic and sticky.
Application in home cooking: Maltose can be used as a common seasoning. For example, when making dishes that need coloring, such as roast duck and roast goose, maltose can provide a good coloring effect and increase the sweetness and gloss of the dishes.
Differences between maltose and other sugars
Maltose is different from other sugars such as sucrose and glucose. Compared with sucrose, maltose is less sweet, but it is easier for the human body to absorb and utilize. Compared with glucose, maltose has a more complex structure and needs to be further decomposed into glucose before it can be used by the body.
