General description

Maltotriose is a (1-4)-linked glucose oligomer [1] that serves as the inducer of the maltose regulon of Escherichia coli. [2]
Maltotriose, a short-chain glucose-based oligosaccharide elicits a sweet taste. This trisaccharide is made up of three 1,4 linked α-D-glucose units.

Application

Maltotriose has been used:
  • as a carbohydrate standard to determine the carbohydrate composition of the wort by high-performance liquid chromatography paired with refractive index detection (HPLC-RID)
  • as an acceptor substrate to determine the transglycosylation activity of amylomaltase
  • as an acceptor substrate in hydrolytic activity and thermal stability assays
  • in a comparative study to investigate the infrared (IR)-Fourier spectra of a carbohydrate series

Maltotriose has been used:
  • in a study to assess the rapid determination of the attenuation limit of beer [3]
  • in a study to investigate the influence of fourth-generation poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers on blood cells[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Maltotriose is a ligand of the human sweet taste receptor hT1R2/hT1R3.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf
