193.11.28.198 removed this sentence: "Hence, an equimolar solution of glucose will theoretically reduce twice as much copper (II) ions as maltose." Should it be put back?

Hammerase?[edit]

I'm pretty sure hammerase doesn't exist, and that it's vandalism. not 100% though. ~Squiggle —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.21.155.92 (talk) 11:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't exist from what I've seen ~Frupert

taste/sweetness[edit]

The taste comparison figure is WRONG. Invert sugar is glucose + fructose. On a per weight basis it is sweeter than sucrose - that's the whole point of invert sugar! Rstenutz (talk) 12:30, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the inaccurate table. Maybe someone can correct the table and reinsert it. ping (talk) 10:30, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If it's used in confectionery, I take it that pure maltose has a sweet taste. How does it compare in sweetness to other sugars, pure glucose, fructose, sucrose, etc.? Fundamentisto (talk) 12:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I found the answer in the article on fructose. Fundamentisto (talk) 15:00, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation[edit]

I have never heard anyone pronounce any of the sugars with a "z" sound at the end. Pdronsard (talk) 21:54, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Layout/Stub[edit]

I really don't like the layout of the page... Should someone fix it? That and I believe the article should be classified as a stub - due to it's severe lack of information when compared to other sugars. ~Frupert

Molecular Diagram[edit]

I'm fairly certain the diagram displaying the B-maltose is not accurate, assuming it's supposed to be the same as the description in the text: "B-matlose is a (1,6) bond between two glucose monomers." That diagram is showing a 1,4 bond between and a-glucose and a B-glucose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.101.21.204 (talk) 18:16, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see, the article only describes isomaltose as having a (1,6) bond. ChemNerd (talk) 16:05, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
