<P> In humans , maltose is broken down by various maltase enzymes , providing two glucose molecules which can be further processed : either broken down to provide energy , or stored as glycogen . The lack of the sucrase - isomaltase enzyme in humans causes sucrose intolerance , but because there are four different maltase enzymes , complete maltose intolerance is extremely rare . </P>
