Product Overview
Maltitol Powder is a high-purity disaccharide polyol (sugar alcohol) produced through the hydrogenation of maltose derived from starch. Chemically known as 4-O-α-Glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol, it appears as a white, crystalline powder with a clean, sugar-like taste and no off-odors. With approximately 90% of the sweetness of sucrose and only about 2.1 kcal per gram (roughly half the calories of sugar), Maltitol Powder offers the closest sensory and functional match to sugar among all sugar alcohols.
Maltitol has been affirmed as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the U.S. FDA and is approved for use as a food additive (E 965) throughout the European Union and in numerous countries worldwide. Our product is available in both Food Grade (FCC V) and Pharmaceutical Grade (BP/USP/EP) to serve diverse industry needs.
Product Characteristics
• Sugar-Like Sweetness: Approximately 90% as sweet as sucrose, with a clean, pleasant taste and no lingering aftertaste. Its sweetness profile is the closest to sugar among all polyols.
• Low Calorie: Provides only 2.1 kcal per gram, compared to 4.0 kcal per gram for sucrose—a significant calorie reduction of nearly 50%.
• Non-Cariogenic (Tooth-Friendly): Does not promote tooth decay, as oral bacteria cannot metabolize maltitol to produce the acids that cause cavities. This makes it an ideal sweetener for dental health products.
• Diabetes-Friendly: With a low glycemic index, maltitol has a significantly lower impact on blood glucose and insulin levels compared to traditional sucrose.
• Heat Stability: Highly stable at high temperatures, resisting browning and caramelization during industrial baking and confectionery processing.
• No Maillard Reaction: Does not participate in Maillard browning reactions, making it suitable for products where color stability is desired.
• Excellent Solubility: Freely soluble in water, with moderate solubility in ethanol.
• Sucrose-Like Mouthfeel: Provides the same body, texture, and mouthfeel as sugar, making it ideal for high-quality sugar-reduced chocolates and snacks.

Applications
Food Industry
Sugar-Free Chocolate & Confectionery
Maltitol Powder is the preferred sugar substitute in premium sugar-free chocolate, hard candies, and chewing gum. It provides the necessary bulk, sweetness, and melt-in-the-mouth texture without the calories of sugar. Its ability to mimic sugar's behavior makes it ideal for no-added-sugar chocolate products.
Bakery & Pastry
Acts as a humectant and sweetener in biscuits, cakes, and pastries, preventing drying and aging while maintaining softness and freshness. It can replace sugar at a 1:1 ratio in most bakery applications. Maltitol also helps reduce acrylamide formation during baking—studies have shown up to approximately 50% reduction.
Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts
Provides refinement, improved sweet taste, and extended shelf life in sugar-free ice cream and frozen dairy products. Typical usage ranges from 4% to 20% by weight in ice cream formulations.
Beverages & Syrups
Serves as a low-calorie sweetener in sugar-free beverages and functional drinks. Its similarity to sucrose allows it to be used in syrups with less risk of crystallization.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Excipient for Tablets & Lozenges
Serves as a robust bulking agent and filler/binder for sugar-free chewable tablets, lozenges, and effervescent tablets. Its non-cariogenic and non-acidogenic properties make it patient-friendly.
Oral Liquid Medications
Used as a sweetening vehicle in syrups and suspensions to improve patient compliance, especially in pediatric and geriatric care.
Vitamin & Supplement Formulations
Acts as a low-calorie sweetening agent and humectant in various nutraceutical formulations.
Personal Care & Other Industries
Toothpaste & Oral Care
Added to dental care products for its non-cariogenic properties.
Cosmetics
Functions as a humectant and moisture-retention agent.
Gelatin Capsules
Used as a plasticizer and emollient.
