Maltose is a member of an important biochemical series of glucose chains. The disaccharides maltose, sucrose, and lactose have the same chemical formula, C12H22O11, however, they differ in structure (see structure below).
|
|
The three most important disaccharides are sucrose, lactose and maltose. They are formed from the a forms of the appropriate monosaccharides. Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar. Lactose and maltose are reducing sugars.
|
|
Note that only half of the glucose rings in maltose can open and close and form the double bond that allows for the reducing reaction. Consequently, maltose and other similar disaccharides will only reduce half as quickly and half as much as an equal weight of other similar monosaccharides.

Maltose or malt sugar is the least common disaccharide in nature. It is present in germinating grain, in a small proportion in corn syrup, and forms on the partial hydrolysis of starch. It is a reducing sugar.

Technical Abstract: The disaccharide, alpha-maltose, forms the molecular basis for the analysis of the structure of starch, and determining the conformational energy landscape as the molecule oscillates around the glycosidic bonds is of importance.

, as shown by their chemical names, are both disaccharides made of D-glucopyranose. Comparing the structures you can observe that both have a 1→ 4 glycosidic bond. Carbon #1 of one glucose unit is bonded to the oxygen of carbon #4 The difference between the two is that maltose is α(1→ 4) and cellobiose is β(1→ 4).
