Crystalline Maltitol Sugar Replacement
- 75% sweet as sucrose; a negligible cooling effect
- Low hygroscopicity – does not readily attract moisture from the air until relative humidity reaches about 85%
- Solubility in water at 25° C is 60 g/100 g solution
- Melting point 144-152° C
- Does not undergo caramelization or the Maillard browning reaction during cooking
- Does not decompose at 160° C
Maltitol is a low-calorie artificial sweetener.Maltitol powder offers similar sweetness to sucrose. It has a natural, sweet taste and boost fruity flavors, and reduces the need for high-intensity sweeteners. Maltitol is non-cariogenic and does not contribute to tooth decay.
Maltitol as a food additive is safe to use, according to The Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization Expert Committee on Food Additives. A petition to affirm the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status of maltitol has been accepted by the US Food and Drug Administration , which means maltitol as a food additive is allowed to be used in the U.S.. Maltitol is also allowed in the European Union, Canada and Japan.
