Maltose Monohydrate 87%

What is Maltose Monohydrate? It is a disaccharide (a type of sugar) composed of two glucose molecules with one water molecule attached. It's commonly found in foods and used in brewing processes, cell and tissue culture media, and pharmaceutical applications as an excipient (inactive ingredient) or reference standard.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.

Frequent Uses

Food and Drink Industry
Maltose is a component of starch breakdown and is used as a sweetener, though it's less sweet than sucrose (table sugar).

Brewing
It is a key source of fermentable sugar in brewing beer and other malt beverages, contributing to the final flavour. 

Pharmaceutical
Can be used as a tablet filler (excipient) and as a secondary reference standard for quality control in pharmaceutical labs. 

Microbiology
A component in various culture media used for growing cells and tissues. 

Enzyme Studies
Maltose is a substrate for enzymes like maltase and can be used to study enzyme activity and kinetics.
