“A major interest of our laboratory is the sensing mechanism for maltose and other glucosides.”

“The common sugars that form part of the diet are sucrose, lactose, and maltose.”

“In chemical digestion, enzymes catalyse the chemical reaction where starch is broken down to form smaller maltose molecules.”

“Dietary coriander and onion prominently stimulated the activities of the disaccharidases sucrase, lactase and maltase of intestinal mucosa.”

“Interestingly, single dose administration of spices other than curcumin and onion did not increase intestinal maltase unlike their dietary intake.”

“When hydrolyzed, either by dilute acids or by maltase, one molecule of maltose yields two molecules of glucose.”
