Maltose
Maltose is a disaccharide sugar derived from malted grains and is commonly used in brewing, baking and traditional Asian confectionery as a sweetener and browning agent. It has a mild, malty flavor and is often sold as a thick syrup or crystalline powder. Nutritionally, Maltose is almost pure sugar — it provides 100g of simple sugars per 100g and contains virtually no protein, fiber, fat or micronutrients, so it contributes quick energy but little else. From a health perspective, it functions as a rapidly digestible carbohydrate and is best used sparingly; it does not provide meaningful vitamins, minerals or fiber and has limited satiety value compared with whole-food carbohydrate sources.
