Function
Maltitol is a new type of functional sweetener. It has been widely used in food industry because of its low calorie, non-carious, difficult to digest, calcium absorption and other physiological characteristics, and has attracted widespread attention.
Maltitol is a kind of crystal powder or colorless liquid obtained from high quality corn starch by enzymatic liquefaction, saccharification, hydrogenation and refining. Crystalline Maltitol obtained by hydrogenation has the same chemical structure as natural Maltitol , which can be called natural safe functional food ingredients.

Functional Characteristics
- 1. Maltitol is easily soluble in water.
- 2. Maltitol will not produce Maillard reaction.
- 3. Maltitol has mild sweetness, with no irritation and Sour taste etc.
- 4. Maltitol is not easy to be used by mould, yeast and lactobacillus, so it can prevent dental caries.
- 5. Maltitol is difficult to be digested and metabolize in animals. It is a good low-energy sweetener.
- 6. When Maltitol absorbed in human body, it will cause no blood sugar rise.
7. Maltitol has better qualities of emulsion stability , so it and can be used as a fat substitute to produce low-calorie food with the same taste as fat.
8. Maltitol has remarkable hygroscopicity, which can be used as a moisturizer for various foods or prevention of crystal of sucrose.
9. The function of maltitol in diet is not only low calorie, but also can inhibit fat storage in human body when eating with high-fat food.
Application
Low calorie functional sweetener
This sweetener can be utilized in various confectioneries such as gum, marshmallow, hard candy, and chocolate. It is also applicable to bread and eggs. Additionally, it finds application in sugar-free or low-sugar baked goods like cakes and mooncakes. Furthermore, it is employed in high-fat foods including ice cream and milk candy. Furthermore, this food additive acts as a sweetener that hinders fat accumulation in the body thereby preventing obesity.
As a fat substitute
Sugar alcohols are effective emulsifiers and foaming agents in the production of cakes and creams. They are commonly used as additives to enhance the foaming properties of commercially sold cakes. Artificial creams rely on the emulsifying stability provided by sugar alcohols to maintain a high-quality texture. Maltose can be utilized as a fat substitute in order to create low-calorie foods that mimic the taste of fatty ingredients. High-calorie fats can be derived from low-calorie maltose, which helps preserve the original flavor and texture of fatty foods.
Fruit juice drink
Maltose has a certain viscosity and is difficult to ferment, so it is used in the manufacture of suspension fruit juice drinks or In the production of lactic acid beverage, the addition of maltose instead of part of the sugar can make the beverage taste full and lubrication.
Gum coating
Maltose is relatively stable and has a sweetness similar to that of sugar. It is used in some special recipes. For example, in some products with extracts as the main functional appeal, usually these The hygroscopicity of the substance is relatively high, and the maltose is used as the main material of the chewing gum sweetener. They have a huge advantage in terms of manufacturing and shelf life.
