Product Overview
Our Maltitol Crystalline Powder (E965, CAS 585-88-6) is a premium sugar alcohol sweetener produced from high-quality non-GMO corn starch via a two-step process of enzymatic hydrolysis and catalytic hydrogenation, followed by purification, concentration, and crystallization. The result is a pure white crystalline powder with 99% minimum purity, delivering approximately 90% of the sweetness of sucrose at only half the calories.
Unlike sorbitol or xylitol, maltitol delivers a clean sweet taste with virtually no cooling effect and no bitter aftertaste — making it the industry-preferred bulk sweetener for sugar-free chocolate, baked goods, confectionery, ice cream, and keto-friendly formulations. Its excellent heat stability and smooth mouthfeel, combined with low glycemic impact and tooth-friendly properties, position it as the ideal one-to-one sugar replacer across a broad range of food and pharmaceutical applications.

Maltitol is the gold standard for sugar-free chocolate. It delivers a comparable melting profile and smooth mouthfeel to sucrose-sweetened chocolate without the cooling effect that mars sorbitol-based formulations. Compatible with standard tempering and enrobing equipment.
Heat-stable up to 160°C, maltitol retains sweetness through the baking cycle. It also acts as a humectant, improving moisture retention and extending shelf life in cakes, cookies, muffins, and breads. Note: Maillard browning is reduced vs sucrose — slight formulation adjustments may be beneficial.
For hard candies, toffees, chews, gummies, and chewing gum centers: maltitol provides bulk, sweetness, and body without the laxation risk of other polyols at equivalent weight. Its low hygroscopicity also helps prevent stickiness in packaging.
Maltitol depresses freezing point similar to sucrose, maintaining a scoopable, creamy texture with reduced calories. Works synergistically with polydextrose or soluble corn fiber for full-sugar mouthfeel in no-sugar-added frozen desserts.
With a net carbohydrate impact significantly lower than sugar and a minimal insulin response, maltitol powder is widely used in keto protein bars, low-carb baking mixes, meal replacement shakes, and functional snacks.
Used as a bulk sweetener and filler in chewable tablets, lozenges, syrups, and powdered oral dosage forms. Its non-cariogenic and low-glycemic properties add functional value to pharma and nutraceutical products.

Q: What is the difference between maltitol powder and maltitol syrup? A: Maltitol crystalline powder is the dried, crystallized form with ≥ 99.5% purity, ideal for dry-mix applications (baking, chocolate, protein bars). Maltitol syrup (typically 75% solids) is used in liquid applications (beverages, ice cream, sauces). Both deliver the same sweetness and functional benefits — the choice depends on your production process.
Q: Does maltitol affect blood sugar? A: Maltitol has a glycemic index significantly lower than sugar and glucose, resulting in a slower, more moderate blood glucose response. It is widely used in diabetic-friendly products. Individual consumers should consult healthcare professionals for personal dietary advice.
Q: Is maltitol keto-friendly? A: Maltitol is partially absorbed and metabolized, so it contributes some net carbohydrates. Many keto formulators combine maltitol with high-intensity sweeteners (stevia, monk fruit) or non-digestible fibers to achieve target net carb values. We recommend evaluating your specific formulation needs.
Q: What about digestive tolerance? A: Maltitol has a better digestive tolerance profile than sorbitol at equivalent dosage levels. Most consumers tolerate moderate daily intake without discomfort. As with all polyols, we recommend gradual introduction in products targeting sensitive consumers.
Q: Can I use maltitol 1:1 to replace sugar in my recipe? A: Yes, maltitol can replace sugar 1:1 by weight in most applications. For baking, you may notice slightly less browning (reduced Maillard reaction) and a slightly softer texture due to its humectant properties. Minor recipe optimization may be needed for best results.
Q: Can I get a free sample? A: Yes, we provide free samples up to 500g for your R&D and quality evaluation. Freight charges are collect or prepaid depending on shipping destination. Please contact us with your courier account number for expedited delivery.
