Maltase

Definition: Maltase is an enzyme that aids in the digestion of maltose into glucose. It is found in the small intestine and is crucial for breaking down complex carbohydrates.

Examples:

1. After consuming starchy food, the maltase in the small intestine catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose into glucose.
2. Individuals with maltase deficiency may experience digestive issues when consuming foods rich in maltose.
3. The production of maltase can be enhanced by consuming certain probiotic supplements containing appropriate strains of bacteria.
