| Several physiologically important disaccharides are sucrose, lactose and maltose. |
| It turns out that, in the mixture of flour and yeast, there are enzymes that turn the starch in the flour into maltose, another sugar. |
| In chemical digestion, enzymes catalyse the chemical reaction where starch is broken down to form smaller maltose molecules. |
| Also, be aware that sugar might be described as sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose and so on. |
| But up to two thirds of it can be replaced by other sugars, including maltose and sucrose. |
| Known as malting, this procedure releases the enzyme diastase, which converts the starches in grain to maltose sugar. |
