Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules. It is usually generated when starch is broken down by enzymes. Maltose exists in sprouted grains in nature and is also produced during beer brewing and other fermentation processes. The chemical formula for maltose is C ₁₂ H ₂ O ₁₁. Maltose is a colorless crystal that usually contains one molecule of crystalline water. It has a melting point of 102 ℃ and is easily soluble in water. Its sweetness is 40% that of sucrose.
