Maltose relative sweetness

The expected demands from industry are for maltooligosaccharide preparations of various compositions and thus with various useful properties. High-maltose syrups for example are characterized by low viscosity, low hygrosopicity, resistance to crystalization and reduced in sweetness. Naltotetraose syrups on the other hand have relatively high viscosity and low colouration. To stimulate demand from the food industry, such syrups of consistent quality must be... 

Other eutectic mixtures apart from ChCl-based DESs have been used as reaction media in organic synthesis. In this sense, sweet deep eutectic solvents (also ealled low melting mixtures) based on carbohydrates (i.e., maltose) have been applied as green and biorenewable solvent in the high-yield synthesis of quinazoline derivatives via one-pot three-component coupling of 2-aminoaryl ketones, aldehydes and ammonium aeetate (see Scheme 20.3.3). However, the use of these carbohydrate-based DESs is limited because i) they present relatively high melting points, and ii) their components are rather reactive.
