D-(+)-Maltose, Monohydrate

D-(+)-Maltose, Monohydrate is a naturally occurring disaccharide composed of two glucose units linked by an α(1→4) glycosidic bond, supplied as a white, crystalline, water-soluble powder in its monohydrate form. It is commonly used in biochemical research, microbiology, and food science as a carbohydrate source and substrate for enzymatic studies.

In laboratory applications, D-(+)-Maltose Monohydrate serves as a carbon source in microbial media, a reagent in enzymatic and metabolic assays, and a substrate in studies of carbohydrate metabolism and glycosidic bond hydrolysis. Its high purity and stable monohydrate form ensure reproducible results and reliable performance in experiments requiring consistent sugar content.
