maltose

a disaccharide CARBOHYDRATE consisting of two GLUCOSE units linked by a GLYCOSIDE bond and common in germinating barley (see Fig. 216 ). The barley seeds are soaked in water, initiating the release of large amounts of AMYLASE, a hydrolytic enzyme that breaks down stored starch into maltose, a reducing sugar.
