Description

Maltoheptaose, represented as (Glcα1,4)₆Glc, is a carbohydrate made up of seven glucose units connected by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. As part of the maltodextrin family, it is one of the longer-chain members in the maltose series. It is derived from starch through enzymatic hydrolysis and serves as a substrate for studying carbohydrate metabolism and enzymatic activity.

Key Features and Uses:

• Biochemical Studies: Maltoheptaose is commonly used in research to investigate the activities of enzymes like α-amylase and β-amylase, which catalyze the breakdown of polysaccharides.

• Structural Insights: Its defined structure aids in understanding the properties and interactions of carbohydrates, including binding studies and the analysis of polysaccharide behavior.

• Food and Nutrition: As a slow-release carbohydrate, maltoheptaose may be studied for its role in providing sustained energy and its potential applications in food science.

Maltoheptaose is typically available as a water-soluble white powder. It is an important tool for researchers exploring the intricate chemistry and biological functions of carbohydrates.
