D-(+)-Maltose monohydrate is used as a sweetener; a moisture absorbent. It is often used for low-sweet foods. Although the sweetness is reduced, the concentration is constant, so it can inhibit the growth of microorganisms and achieve long-term preservation. The hygroscopicity prevents the crystallization of the candy, improves the structure of the food, keeps it soft for a long time, and is also suitable for the sweetening of natural juices.
D-(+)-Maltose monohydrate can also be used in scientific research and experiments. The bud sugar has an aldehyde group in its molecular structure and is reducible. It is a reducing sugar. Therefore, a silver mirror reaction can be performed with the silver ammonia solution, or a new brick of red hydroxide can be reacted to form a brick red precipitate. It can be hydrolyzed under certain conditions to produce two molecules of glucose. Used as biological medium, polysulfide measuring agent, analytical chemical colorimetric standard brown.
