Maltotriitol finds widespread application in various scientific research fields. It serves as a versatile component for enzymatic reactions, acts as a buffering agent, and functions as a stabilizer during biochemical processes. Additionally, it plays a role in investigating carbohydrate metabolism, unraveling protein structure and function, and exploring enzyme kinetics. Maltotriitol, a sugar alcohol, undergoes distinct metabolic pathways compared to other sugars. It is enzymatically broken down by maltase into glucose and galactose. Subsequently, glucose enters the glycolysis pathway to generate energy, while galactose contributes to the synthesis of glycoproteins and glycolipids through the Leloir pathway.
