High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Maltotetraose is a polysaccharide composed of four glucose units linked by α(1→4) glycosidic bonds. It is a component of maltodextrin, which is derived from the hydrolysis of starch. Maltotetraose is commonly used in various industrial applications, including food and environmental analysis.

Uses

Maltotetraose is utilized in the food industry as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and to improve the texture and mouthfeel of products. It is also used in the production of biofuels and as a substrate in enzymatic reactions for biochemical research.

Regulatory

In the European Union, maltotetraose and maltodextrin are classified under the same regulations, which require labeling for allergen content if derived from wheat. In the United States, maltodextrin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food products.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of maltotetraose in food and environmental samples is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Laboratories use high-purity reference materials to calibrate analytical instruments and validate methods for accurate quantification.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Maltotetraose is generally considered safe for human consumption. However, excessive intake may lead to rapid increases in blood sugar levels, which can be a concern for individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

There is limited information on the environmental impact of maltotetraose. However, as a biodegradable polysaccharide, it is unlikely to pose significant risks to wildlife when used in typical industrial applications.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and storage of maltotetraose are crucial to maintain its purity and effectiveness. Laboratories should follow standard safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment and proper ventilation.

Regulation

Both the European Union and the United States have specific regulations governing the use of maltotetraose in food products. Compliance with these regulations is essential for manufacturers to ensure the safety and quality of their products.
