Yes Maltose can be digested by the human body. Cellulose can not
yes fructose is just another fancy term for SUGAR
Maltose is digested in small intestine by enzyme maltase .
yes
Salivary amylase digests starch into maltose
cellulose
Starch (carbohydrates) is broken down (digested) to maltose by salivary amylase.
Lactose and Glucose
The digestion of maltose involves the action of the enzyme maltase. The product is glucose.
Digestion begins in your mouth. Starch is digested (by salivary amylase) into maltose.
Cellulose cannot be digested by humans.Cellulosecellulosehumans cannot digest cellulosecelluloseCelluloseCellulose (aka Fiber) can not be digested by humans because, we don't have the bacteria needed to break down cellulose. Sucrose, Maltose, and Fructose are all disaccharides (carbohydrates/sugars) and are all able to be broken down to glucose in the body.
The maltose positive test will have a degree of how positive, it is. That will tell you how much of the starch has been digested.
Starch digestion (hydrolysis) is incomplete
the startch component from plants is broken down to maltose and then maltose digested to glucose, the sugar found in your blood.
primary end products; maltose, maltotriose, a-dextrins, and some glucose
maltose is a reducing sugar ..
