Maltitol Powder is a white or off-white crystalline powder. Maltitol is derived from Maltose (extracted from Starch) through hydrogenation, similar to other polyols. Unlike other polyols, granulated maltitol does not cause the Maillard Browning Reaction, has a strong sweet taste, and does not require mixing with other sweeteners. Maltitol has no cooling sensation when dissolved in the mouth, can be used in producing many kinds of food instead of sucrose, and can also be used in dairy products instead of fat.

Product Advantages

1. Stability

Pure maltitol powder is a colorless and transparent crystal, stable to heat and acid. Since there are no free carbonyl groups in the maltitol structure, no Maillard reaction occurs during food processing. Even if it is heated together with amino acids and proteins, it will not cause the Maillard reaction.

2. Solubility

Maltitol is easily soluble in water, insoluble in methanol and ethanol, and insoluble in chloroform and ethyl acetate. The solubility of maltitol in water is lower than that of sucrose at 20°C and higher than that of sucrose above 30°C. Liquid maltitol is more soluble in water than crystalline maltitol.

3. Sweetness

The sweetness of crystalline maltitol is about 80%-90% of sucrose, and the sweetness of liquid maltitol is about 60% of sucrose, with a soft and non-irritating taste.

4. Hygroscopicity

Maltitol has remarkable hygroscopicity and can be used as a humectant for various foods or to prevent the crystallization of sucrose.

5. Viscosity

The viscosity of maltitol aqueous solution is lower than that of sucrose or sucrose-glucose aqueous solution, which will affect the rheological properties of food raw materials during processing.

Applications

Maltitol powder has a wide range of applications across various industries. Some common applications include:

1. Food and Beverages: It is frequently used as a sugar substitute in food and beverage products, such as baked goods, chocolates, ice creams, jams, jellies, and confectioneries. It provides a similar sweetness to sugar, allowing for the creation of reduced-sugar or sugar-free products.

2. Pharmaceuticals: The powder is utilized in pharmaceutical formulations as an excipient or filler in tablets, capsules, and syrups. It helps improve the taste and mouthfeel of medicines, particularly those that require sweetness without the use of sugar.

3. Oral Care Products: Due to its non-cariogenic properties, it is commonly found in sugar-free chewing gums, mints, and lozenges. It provides sweetness without promoting tooth decay, making it an ideal ingredient for oral care products.

4. Cosmetics and Personal Care: Granulated maltitol can be found in certain cosmetic and personal care products, including lip balms, toothpaste, mouthwashes, and skin creams. It functions as a humectant, helping to retain moisture and improve texture.

5. Nutraceuticals: It is used in the production of nutraceuticals and dietary supplements. It serves as a sweetening agent, allowing manufacturers to create sugar-free or low-sugar nutritional products while maintaining taste and palatability.

6. Veterinary Products: Some pet foods and veterinary products incorporate this powder as a sweetener or flavoring agent. It can enhance the taste and appeal of pet treats while minimizing the impact on blood sugar levels.
