  • Applications

    Maltohexaose (CAS 34620-77-4) is a six-unit maltooligosaccharide that is water-soluble and used in research and industry. Real-world applications include: serving as a carbohydrate source in fermentation processes and food processing; acting as a substrate for enzymes such as amylases and as a reference standard for carbohydrate analysis (HPLC, MS); serving as an intermediate building block in the synthesis of modified oligosaccharides for pharmaceutical research; and being incorporated into functional food formulations as a digestible carbohydrate component, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
