Maltose isn't used inside the body but it can be used to sweeten many foods.
Maltose is a disaccharide formed from two units of glucose. In order for the body to "use" maltose, it must be digested and absorbed in its monomeric form: GLUCOSE. When food passes through the stomach as chyme and passes into the small intestine's duodenum, this causes the small intestine to release disaccharidases (i.e. maltase), which are a group of enzymes that can digest disaccharides, such as maltose. Once maltose is broken down by maltase into two units of glucose, glucose is free to be absorbed by the gut.

Where is the human body skull located?
You are the skulls.
What is other name for maltase?
Another name for maltase is alpha-glucosidase.
The specific function of the enzyme maltase?
Maltase is a biological catalyst used in digestion. Once starch has been broken down to maltose,maltase continues the chemical digestion and breaks the maltose down to glucose, ie a soluble, smaller molecule that can easily be absorbed.
What does maltase do to food while in the small intestine?
Maltase is part of the bursh border enzymes of the small intestine. This enzyme breaks the disaccharide known as maltose into two glucose units which are then absorbed through the intestinal wall
Where do the elements in the human body tend to be located in the table?
metals
Where is the maltase enzyme located in the human body?
The maltase enzyme is located in the small intestine of the human body, specifically in the brush border of the intestinal lining. It plays a crucial role in breaking down maltose into glucose molecules to be absorbed by the body.
Where is the largest tendon in the human body located?
The largest tendon in the human body is located in the Achilles heel.

Where is the lower trapezius insertion located in the human body?
The lower trapezius insertion is located on the spine of the scapula in the human body.
What are the 3 adaptations of the body which insure digestion of fats?
lipase,maltase and peptidase
What are the 3 adaptions of the body which insure digestion fats?
lipase,maltase and peptidase
On the right side of the human body, where is the liver located?
The liver is located on the right side of the human body, beneath the rib cage.
Where is the distal bicep insertion located in the human body?
The distal bicep insertion is located at the radial tuberosity in the forearm of the human body.
How many amino acids does maltase enzyme contain?
The number of amino acids (aa) varies with the source of the maltase enzyme. The maltase enzyme from E.coli has 678aa Rat has 953aa Mouse has 953aa Human has 914aa Yeast has 584aa
What is the role of enterocrinin?
Enterocrinin is considered a collective hormone located in the duodenum mucosa and is stimulated by Hydrogen ions which stimulates the intestinal glads to increase Succus Entericus (SE) juice. This breaks down Sucrase, Maltase, Lactase, Erepsin and Nuclease for the human body to use as energy or to store for later.
