Maltitol

What is Maltitol

Maltitol is a sugar alcohol, also known as a polyol used as a sugar substitute in food products. It has 75–90% of the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar) and nearly identical properties, except for browning. It is used to replace table sugar because it is half as calorific, does not promote tooth decay, and has a somewhat lesser effect on blood glucose. In chemical terms, maltitol is known as 4-O-α-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol. Maltitol is a disaccharide produced by hydrogenation of maltose obtained from starch. Maltitol syrup, a hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, is produced by hydrogenating corn syrup, a mixture of carbohydrates produced from the hydrolysis of starch. Maltitol is utilized in sugar-free and reduced-sugar items. It is tooth-friendly, does not contribute to tooth decay, and offers a texture resembling sugar. As a versatile sweetener, maltitol is a popular choice for individuals seeking lower-calorie alternatives in their diet.
