Maltitol Powder

Maltitol is a kind of sugar alcohol made from starch through hydrolysis , hydrogenation . It is a kind of colorless , transparent and viscous liquid. It can be easily dissolved in water. It has a moderate sweet taste and the sweet intensity is lower than sucrose. Its characteristics includes heat-resistance, acid-resistance ,water based and anti-ferment . The blood sugar can’t increase in human body after having it . It is a new functional sweetener.

Maltitol hardly decomposes in human body.Therefor ,it can be used as foodstuff for patients suffering from diabetes and adiposis.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.

What is the difference between xylitol and maltitol
Xylitol: xylitol tastes better at low temperature and is 1.2 times sweeter than sucrose.Xylitol is often accompanied by a slight coolness after ingestion because it dissolves easily in water and absorbs a certain amount of heat when dissolved.Xylitol is as sweet as sucrose and can absorb a lot of heat when dissolved in water. It is one of the largest endothermic value of all sugar alcohol sweeteners. Therefore, when eaten in solid form, it will produce a pleasant cool feeling in the mouth.
Maltitol: noncorrosive, does not stimulate insulin secretion, inhibits excessive accumulation of body fat, and is difficult to digest.Maltitol is easily dissolved in water and has the same sweetness as sucrose. It is mild in sweetness and has no mixed taste. It has significant moisture absorption and is not easily used by molds, yeast and lactic acid bacteria.
