GB/T 20882.5-2025 is the English-translated version of 淀粉糖质量要求 第5部分:麦芽糖.
GB/T 20882.5-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering maltose in its three forms, syrup, powder and crystalline — the M40, M50 and M70 grades set by maltose content, the sensory requirements and the crystallisation now allowed in a syrup, the physico-chemical indicators, the chromatographic determination of maltose by peak area normalisation, the pH, the boiling temperature of the sugar that tells a confectioner how it will behave in a pan, and the sampling for each form. Part 5 of the series. Issued on 25 April 2025, it has been in force since 1 May 2026, replacing GB/T 20883-2017.

Introduction
With the rapid development of the food fermentation industry, starch sugar types have diversified, product quality has been improved, and product varieties have been enriched.
The industry technology has made great progress. The formulation of GB/T 20882 "Quality Requirements for Starch Sugar" is a standard for the product quality and The normalization and standardization of detection methods is the basic work to regulate the industry order of starch sugar and its related products and promote industrial development.
GB/T 20882 "Quality Requirements for Starch Sugar" is planned to consist of seven parts.
— Part 1: Edible glucose. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the edible glucose industry.
— Part 2: Glucose syrup (powder). The purpose is to improve the product quality of glucose syrup (powder) industry.
— Part 3: Crystalline fructose and solid fructose-glucose. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the crystalline fructose and solid fructose-glucose industries.
— Part 4: Fructose-glucose syrup. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the fructose-glucose syrup industry.
— Part 5: Maltose. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the maltose industry.
— Part 6: Maltodextrin. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the maltodextrin industry.
— Part 7: Trehalose. The purpose is to improve the product quality of the trehalose industry.
