What is the role of maltose hydrolysis

Maltose is a food produced by the fermentation of various grains. Maltose is very nutritious and has a therapeutic effect on some diseases in the human body. Today I will mainly explain to you the hydrolysis products of maltose. Everyone knows that the hydrolysis product of maltose is glucose. Maltose can not only decompose into glucose, but also produce other sugars. Glucose has many uses and is often used in the fields of chemistry and medicine. Moreover, glucose is also very helpful in replenishing physical strength. In addition to this, what other functions does glucose have? Many friends don’t quite understand its function. Here is a detailed introduction to glucose, the hydrolyzate of maltose.

Effect of maltose hydrolysate

1. Glucose enhances memory, stimulates calcium absorption and increases communication between cells. But too much can raise insulin levels, leading to obesity and diabetes; too little can cause hypoglycemia or worse, insulin shock (diabetic coma).

2. Glucose is important for brain function, and glucose metabolism can be disturbed by the following factors: depression, mania, anorexia and bulimia. The study found that supplementing the diet with 75 grams of glucose improved performance on memory tests.

3 Glucose is absorbed into liver cells, which reduces the secretion of glycogen and causes muscle and fat cells to increase their ability to absorb glucose. Excess blood glucose is converted into fatty acids and triglycerides in the liver and adipose tissue.

4. Pharmacological effects: It can replenish water and sugar in the body, and has the effects of replenishing body fluids, supplying energy, replenishing blood sugar, strengthening the heart and promoting diuresis, and detoxifying. Indications: Its 5% solution is an isotonic solution, used for various acute poisonings to promote the excretion of poisons; 10%~50% is a high concentration solution, used for hypoglycemia, malnutrition, or for the treatment of heart failure, cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, etc.

5. Glucose is mainly used as an over-the-counter drug: ⑴ Preparation of oral rehydration salts to regulate body fluids, which is used for fluid loss caused by sweating, vomiting, and diarrhea. ⑵ Oral administration is used to supplement nutrition for people who are weak, malnourished, etc., or for those with low blood sugar.

6. The growth of microorganisms requires a suitable carbon-nitrogen ratio. Glucose, as the carbon source of microorganisms, is the main ingredient of fermentation medium. Antibiotics, monosodium glutamate, vitamins, amino acids, organic acids, enzyme preparations, etc. all require a large amount of glucose. It can also be used as a raw material for microbial polysaccharides and organic solvents.

The above is a detailed introduction to maltose hydrolysate. I believe that through the above introduction many friends have a certain understanding of it. Although it has certain benefits to the human body, you must follow the doctor's instructions for use when using it. Do not consume it in excess to avoid harm to the body.
