General description

D-(+)-Maltose monohydrate is a disaccharide sugar made up of two α-d-glucose molecules joined by α(1→4) glycosidic bond. Apparent molar volumes of D-(+)-maltose monohydrate has been studied in water and guanidine hydrochloride solutions by density measurement experiment.

Application

D-(+)-Maltose monohydrate is the suitable reagent for the following studies:
  • Cell culture studies.
  • Insect cell culture studies.
  • To study the glass transition temperatures and phase relations for several saccharide-water systems.
  • As medium supplement in the modified Luria-Bertani broth (LBM) medium for E. coli strains.
It may be employed as standard for the α-amylase and invertase assays.
