Maltose is a disaccharide made of 2 glucose units. So, "α" or "β" is based on the relation between the stereochemistry of the anomeric carbon and the furthest chiral centre in the ring. The α anomer is the one in which these two positions have the same configuration; they are opposite in the β anomer.

Are Anomers and Epimers same?
Yes, anomers and epimers are the same. In chemistry, anomers are special types of epimers.
Is maltose non reducing sugar?
maltose is a reducing sugar ..
What the product to the reactants maltose and water?
Maltose and water react to form the maltose solution. A sweet solution!
What sugar is produced when amylase breaks down the disaccharide maltose?
Maltose
Is maltose a protein lipid or carbohydrate?
Maltose is a carbohydrate made from 2 glucose.
Are Anomers and Epimers same?
Yes, anomers and epimers are the same. In chemistry, anomers are special types of epimers.
Why all anomers are epimers but all epimers are not anomers?
Epimers are two diastereomers that differ at one stereogenic center (a chiral carbon). An anomer is is an epimer that is created after cyclization.-that is the new sterogenic center is created by a cyclization reaction.Added:This above might be true, but is an answer to the OTHER question:'Why all anomers are epimers but notall epimers are anomers'in stead of the original question:'Why all anomers are epimers but allepimers are not anomers'This origional is not fully logic when the ambiguous word 'all' is wrongly interpreted.

Is maltose an oligosaccharide?
Maltose is a disaccharide.
What is maltose dextrin?
dextrine and maltose are byproduct of starch when starch is completely hydrolized it gives dextrin and maltose
What the product to the reactants maltose and water?
Maltose and water react to form the maltose solution. A sweet solution!
What makes maltose?
is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose. Maltose can be broken down into two glucose molecules by hydrolysis.what are some properties of maltose?Maltose is a malt sugar. The molecular formula for maltose is C12H22O11.
What is pH level of maltose?
The pH level of maltose is 5.4. This indicates that maltose is moderately acidic, as its level is less than 7.
What is the composition of maltose?
The composition of maltose is 2 glucose units. This is because glucose is the 'primary' composition in a monosaccharide and maltose is found in Disaccharide, which is the 'secondary' composition. ~Geek
