Description

General description

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

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.[2]
• As medium supplement in the modified Luria-Bertani broth (LBM) medium for E. coli strains.[3]

It may be employed as standard for the α-amylase and invertase assays.[4]
