Maltose (malt sugar) is a food-grade disaccharide of two α-1,4-linked glucose units produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch.We supply bulk Maltose sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder and liquid forms for international food processing operations. Our Maltose is widely used in caramel, bakery: crumb softener, malt beverages, pharmaceutical intravenous nutrition and frozen desserts.
Maltose is produced by enzymatic saccharification of liquefied starch using β-amylase and pullulanase. This yields a syrup with ≥80% maltose content, which can be crystallised to ≥95% pure maltose monohydrate.
It is less sweet, less hygroscopic and lower glycaemic than sucrose. This makes it ideal for soft candies, fillings, bakery and intravenous nutrition.

Our MOQ for bulk food/feed ingredient is generally 500 kg. We also support mixed containers — combine Maltose with other food ingredients in one shipment to save on freight.
We provide free samples (100–500g) for quality testing before you place a bulk order. The buyer covers shipping costs only. Samples are typically dispatched within 2–3 business days.
Standard lead time is 7–15 days after order confirmation and payment. For stock items, delivery can be faster. We will confirm the exact timeline before you place the order.
You will receive the original COA (Certificate of Analysis), COO (Certificate of Origin), MSDS, TDS, and relevant certifications directly from the manufacturer. We guarantee full document authenticity and traceability.
