Talk:Maltose

193.11.28.198 removed this sentence: "Hence, an equimolar solution of glucose will theoretically reduce twice as much copper (II) ions as maltose." Should it be put back?

Hammerase?
I'm pretty sure hammerase doesn't exist, and that it's vandalism. not 100% though. ~Squiggle —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.21.155.92 (talk) 11:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't exist from what I've seen ~Frupert

taste/sweetness
The taste comparison figure is WRONG. Invert sugar is glucose + fructose. On a per weight basis it is sweeter than sucrose - that's the whole point of invert sugar! Rstenutz (talk) 12:30, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I have removed the inaccurate table. Maybe someone can correct the table and reinsert it. ping (talk) 10:30, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

If it's used in confectionery, I take it that pure maltose has a sweet taste. How does it compare in sweetness to other sugars, pure glucose, fructose, sucrose, etc.? Fundamentisto (talk) 12:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, I found the answer in the article on fructose. Fundamentisto (talk) 15:00, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I have never heard anyone pronounce any of the sugars with a "z" sound at the end. Pdronsard (talk) 21:54, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Layout/Stub
I really don't like the layout of the page... Should someone fix it? That and I believe the article should be classified as a stub - due to it's severe lack of information when compared to other sugars. ~Frupert

Molecular Diagram
I'm fairly certain the diagram displaying the B-maltose is not accurate, assuming it's supposed to be the same as the description in the text: "B-matlose is a (1,6) bond between two glucose monomers." That diagram is showing a 1,4 bond between and a-glucose and a B-glucose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.101.21.204 (talk) 18:16, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * As far as I can see, the article only describes isomaltose as having a (1,6) bond. ChemNerd (talk) 16:05, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
