Hydrolysis of one mole of isomaltose by an acid or α-glucosidase gives two moles of D-glucose

b. Isomaltose is a reducing sugar

c. It is oxidized by bromine water to isomaltonic acid. Methylation of the acid and subsequent hydrolysis yield 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2,34,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-gluconic acid

d. Methylation of isomaltose itself, followed by hydrolysis gives 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2,3,4-trimethyl-D-glucose
