Description

Maltitol is a high-quality polyol (sugar alcohol) supplied in the form of a white to slightly off-white crystalline powder. It is produced through the hydrogenation, purification and crystallisation of maltose syrup.

Thanks to its physicochemical properties, maltitol is widely used in the food industry as a sugar substitute. It offers good stability, low hygroscopicity and technological functionality, making it suitable for sugar-free and reduced-calorie food formulations while maintaining desirable taste and texture.

Technical aspects

Powdered maltitol is characterised by neutral odour and mild sweetness.
