Application:
1. Maltitol hardly decomposed in human body, so it can be used as foodstuff for patients suffering
from diabetes and adipose.
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. Has benefits of throat soothing, tooth cleaning and prevention of tooth decay in 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
Feature and Benefits
1. Sweetness and Taste
It has 85-95% of the sweetness of sugar. It taste clean and like sugar. It can partially or completely
replace sugar. It does carry low calorie and good for diabetic.
2. Stability
It is extremely heat and acid stable. It would not turn brown while heating and be deteriated in the
presence of acid. It is inert to Millard reaction in the presence of amino acid and protein. It does
not ferment in the presence of yeast and molds. Thus it can prolong the shelf-life of food products.
3. Teeth Friendly
It is inert to most bacteria in oral cavity and thus has tooth-decay prevention property.
4. Low Hydroscopic
It is more or less like sugar especially the crystalline type. It shows zero absorption of moisture
under RH 75% and 35 C. It would only show moisture absorption at 37 C and RH 80%. Liquid
type will absorb moisture and are good humectants.
5. Protection of Vitamin C
When Maltitol heat together with Vitamin C, it can reduce or prohibit the oxidation and
decomposition processes of Vitamin C, which means Maltitol can protection Vitamin C in all sorts
of Vitamin C fortified foods.
6. Compressibility
Maltitol Crystalline powder is free flowing and highly compressible. It is ideal for compressed
tablets. The higher the compressed pressure, the harder the tablet will be.
7. Improving Calcium Absorption
It can enhance human absorbability of calcium which is very important to our physobiological
system.
8. Modulation Blood Sugar
Insulin will not be excreted in the presence of Maltitol. It hasn't any side effect for the diabetic and
adipose sufferers. It can improve human immune ability too.
