maltose

Added sugars can also be found on the ingredients list, often labeled as glucose, fructose, maltose or sucrose.

Honey, made from nectar by honeybees, is primarily a mixture of glucose and fructose monosaccharides with some maltose, sucrose and other carbohydrates.

The yeast is tolerant of this acidic environment, and it ferments carbohydrates other than maltose to produce the carbon dioxide that leavens the bread.

Male cockroaches’ gooey “gift” to females contains a sugar called maltose, which quickly breaks down into glucose when it comes in contact with saliva in the female’s mouth.

Instead of producing nuptial gifts containing more maltose, they produced ones that contained a more complex sugar, maltotriose.
