Maltotrioseis atrisaccharide(three-part sugar) consisting of threeglucosemolecules linked with α-1,4glycosidic bonds.

It is most commonly produced by the digestive enzyme Alpha -amylase(a common enzyme in humansaliva) onamyloseinstarch.The creation of both maltotriose andmaltoseduring this process is due to the random manner in which Alpha amylasehydrolysesα-1,4glycosidic bonds.

It is the shortest chainoligosaccharidethat can be classified asmaltodextrin.
