Chemical Information
NameMaltotetraose
DescriptionConstituent of corn syrup. Product of action of a-amylase on starch. Maltooligosaccharide mixtures are important food additives (sweeteners, gelling agents and viscosity modifiers) Maltotetraose is a normal human oligo saccharide present in plasma, but is elevated in cases of Pompe disease (PMID 15886040). Maltotetraose is found in many foods, some of which are garden tomato, saffron, strawberry guava, and rambutan.
