Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose subunits. The principle isomer of maltose is 4-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-glucose of which both glucoses are the alpha form. Maltobiose or malt sugar is 4-O-alpha-D-Glucopyranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranose which is made up of alpha & beta glucoses. You can compare both forms of this molecule if you open one of the links above in a separate window.
Maltose occurs naturally or is added as an ingredient in wide range of foods. This includes wheat, cornmeal, barley, oats, peaches, pears, and honey & is even used to crispen the skin of fried poultry.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (scroll down to see "Skeletal (Orbit/Minit) and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
You can also build fructose with our advanced student organic chemistry model set or the class organic chemistry model set. The class biochemistry model set builds the linear version of fructose in the Orbit x-peg style.
