Maltopentaose (Maltopentose) is an oligosaccharide composed of five glucose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds[1]. Maltopentaose is the shortest oligosaccharide in maltodextrin and can be used to study the saccharification and phosphorylation of α-lactalbumin[2]. Maltopentaose can be used as a substrate for porcine pancreatic α-amylase (PPA) to study various inhibitors of PPA[3]. Maltopentaose has good biocompatibility and biodegradability and can be used as a carrier for drug delivery systems[4]. Maltopentaose has the function of regulating intestinal flora and can promote the growth of probiotics (such as bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria)[5]. Maltopentaose can be used as a carbon source for microbial culture and fermentation process optimization[6].
