Maltose with the molecular formula (C12H22O11) with a molecular weight of 342.3 daltons, with two sugar units, is considered a disaccharide and consists of two glucose molecules. Maltose is a reducing sugar obtained by hydrolysis of corn starch. It has a relatively sweet, clear, colorless taste, with its own, natural and thick smell. FDA has declared maltose as a safe additive (GRAS: Generally Recognized As Safe) and therefore maltose can be used without any restrictions except for the restrictions and compliance with GMP’s rules.
