Maltooctaose
Maltooctaose belongs to maltooligosaccharides (MOS) with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 8. It is a linear molecule formed by 8 D-glucose units linked via α-1,4 glycosidic bonds, with negligible α-1,6 branched linkages. As a long linear maltooligosaccharide with relatively high polymerization degree.
