What temperature does maltase work best at?

Maltase, an enzyme that breaks down maltose into glucose, works best at a temperature range of around 37-40 degrees Celsius (98.6-104 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature range corresponds to the optimal operating temperature for most enzymes in the human body. At lower temperatures, the enzyme activity decreases, while at higher temperatures, the enzyme may denature and lose its function. Maintaining the optimal temperature ensures efficient maltose digestion by maltase.
