Tag: Maltose syrup

Over 70% of maltose syrup produced can contain the sugar maltose, a disaccharide of two glucose molecules. This means maltose syrup is primarily made by breaking down starches from various natural sources through a process called enzymatic hydrolysis.

Maltose syrup is a sugar derived from the enzymatic breakdown of plant starches like corn, rice, and barley, making it fundamentally plant-based. For many, this makes it a suitable vegetarian option, but the devil is in the details of the manufacturing process.
