Maltose, also known as malt sugar, is a disaccharide formed from two glucose units joined together. This naturally occurring sugar has a subtly sweet flavor, approximately 30-50% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar). In its pure form, maltose appears as a white crystalline powder. Maltose is a reducing sugar and plays a crucial role in various food applications due to its unique properties such as its moderate sweetness, hygroscopic nature, and ability to contribute to Maillard reaction.

Maltose, typically found in syrups or powders, should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent clumping or crystallization. Once opened, ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Maltose syrup does not typically require refrigeration, but storing it in a cool area will prolong its shelf life. Check for any signs of spoilage, like discoloration or a fermented odor, before use.
