What is Maltitol ?
Maltitol is a-D-glucopyranosyl-1.4-glucitol. The solubility in water is approximately 1,750 g/L at room temperature. Maltitol is stable under the common processing conditions of foods. In addition to dry maltitol several types of syrups are available.
Maltitol is, depending on the concentration, approximately 90 % as sweet as sucrose and noncariogenic.
Function
1.Maltitol hardly decomposes in human body.Therefor ,it can be used as foodstuff for patients suffering from diabetes and adiposis.
2.As maltitol is good in mouth feeling ,moisture protection and non-crystalline ,it can be used in production of various candies,including fermentative cotton candy ,hard candy ,transparent jelly drops,etc.
3.Features of throat soothering ,tooth cleaning and preventing tooth decay for chewing gum ,candy pills and chocolate.
4.With a certain viscosity and hard for fermentation ,it can be used as substitution for granulated sugar in suspension fruit juice beverage and lactic acid beverage to improve mouth feeling.
5.It can be used in ice cream to improve refinement and sweet taste ,and prolong shelf life.
Application
1.Maltitol, is a sugar free, reduced calorie sweetener made from corn. It has a pleasant sugar-like taste and sweetness.
2.Maltitol, has about half the calories of sugar and is useful for making a variety of sugar free and reduced calorie foods is a kind of sugar alcohol made from starch through hydrolysis, hydrogenation. It can be easily dissolved in water. It has a moderate sweet taste and the sweet intensity is lower than sucrose. It features in lower heat, heat-resistance, acid-resistance. The blood sugar can increase in human body after having it. It is a new functional sweetener.
3.Maltitol, has special physiological functions and physical and chemical characteristics, and has special that other sweetener can substitute. It is widely used in Many industries such as food process, health products, etc.
