Isomaltose for research in glycan analog synthesis: Isomaltose is used in pioneering studies to develop linkage-editing pseudo-glycans, employing reductive alpha-fluorovinyl-C-glycosylation strategies. This research opens new pathways for creating glycan analogs with modified biological activities, critical in pharmaceutical research and biotechnology (Moriyama et al., 2024).
Isomaltose biochemical assay in food science: Rapid identification and quantification techniques for disaccharide isomers like isomaltose are developed using ESI-MS/MS. These methodologies are applied to investigate food products such as yellow rice wine, demonstrating isomaltose′s role in food chemistry and quality analysis (Yuan et al., 2023).
Isomaltose glycosidic bond study in carbohydrate research: Research on minor carbohydrates, including isomaltose, as authenticity markers in grape must highlights its importance in the control and quality assessment of food products, facilitating better regulatory compliance and product authentication (Paolini et al., 2023).
