Is maltose keto?

What it is

Maltose is the sugar released when starch is broken down, which is why it is the main sugar in malt syrup and brown rice syrup. Your body splits it into glucose.

It is not to be confused with maltitol, a sugar alcohol, or maltodextrin, a starch-based powder. All three count, maltitol a little less.
