Maltose is a disaccharide formed by two molecules of glucose, and glucose is a carbohydrate monosaccharide (hence its 1:2:1 cardon to hydrogen to oxygen ratio). The formula for maltose is C12H22O11 and is not C12H24O12 because in formation of the maltose, dehydration synthesis occurs and a water (H2O) molecule is formed by being taken out in order to bond the two glucose molecules, so don't let its chemical formula not being in the ratio 1:2:1 make you think it's not a carbohydrate, because that's the ratio for monosaccharides (single saccharide carbs).

Maltose is a sugar or carbohydrate and not a fatty acid (carboxylic acid)
Is maltose a steroid?
Maltose is not a steroid. It is a complex carbohydrate useful for those who are working out and trying to build muscle.
Hydrolysis is involved in?
Hydrolysis is involved in maltose to glucose digestion. Maltose, a starch, gets hydrolyzed into a couple remains of glucose in this carbohydrate digestion.
Can maltose dissolve in milk?
yes
What is a synonym for sugar?

Difference between maltose and cellulose?
difference between cellulose and maltose is that cellulose is (chiefly in technical texts) while maltose is (carbohydrate) a disaccharide, c12h22o11 formed from the digestion of starch by amylase; is converted to glucose by maltase.
What is the carbohydrate in milk that could cause milk intolerance?
Lactose is a simple carbohydrate and typically is the reason for milk intolerance in people. Lactose is a simple sugar/carbohydrate.
