Maltitol Powder Food Grade (INS 965) - the Polyol That Acts Like Sugar in Your Recipe
Maltitol powder is the crystalline, hydrogenated-maltose sweetener that confectionery and bakery R&D teams reach for when a sugar-free formula still has to taste and feel like the sugar version. This handbook explains what it is, the six formulation behaviours that matter in practice, and the certificate numbers behind the clean claims.
Grade & documentation: supplied as food grade per FCC V specification (per the specification sheet); the reference COA is issued against BP/USP/EP/FCC quality criteria. Not marketed as a pharmaceutical grade; no therapeutic claims are made. All figures below come from the two accompanying documents.
Maltitol is a disaccharide polyol made by hydrogenating maltose obtained from starch. The product arrives as a white, crystalline powder that, like most commercial maltitol, carries small amounts of sorbitol and related polyhydric alcohols. It is very soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol - which makes it easy to dose into syrups, batters and fondants alike.

Sugar alcohols are not interchangeable - each one brings a different mouthfeel, browning and crystal behaviour to the batch. These are the six behaviours that define this particular powder:
· 1. Sweet enough to stand alone. The specification notes maltitol's high sweetness allows it to be used without blending with other sweeteners - one ingredient doing the whole sweetening job.
· 2. Negligible cooling effect. Unlike some polyols that taste cold on the tongue, maltitol exhibits a negligible cooling effect (positive heat of solution), very similar to the subtle cooling profile of sucrose - the detail that keeps chocolate and sweets tasting 'normal'.
· 3. A clean browning story. With reducing sugars at 0.02% (limit 0.1%), there is almost no reducing sugar available to drive Maillard browning - which is why cooked sweets keep their colour and flavour cleaner through processing.
· 4. Sucrose-like behaviour in syrups. Its similarity to sucrose allows use in syrups where crystallization - the kind that makes bottle caps stick - is less likely.
· 5. A precise crystalline fingerprint. Assay inside the tight 99.0% - 101.0% window (measured 99.42%) and a melting point of 149.5°C against the documented 148 - 151°C range give QC a fast, repeatable identity check.
· 6. Four jobs on one label. The specification registers it as humectant, texturizing agent, stabilizer and sweetener - and, in cosmetics-style formulations, as an emollient and humectant.
| Application area | Typical products | What maltitol contributes |
| Sugar-free confectionery | Sugarless hard candies, chewing gum | Sucrose-like sweetness, clean cooking behaviour, low browning |
| Chocolate | Chocolate and coated confections | Bulk sweetness with negligible cooling - close to real-chocolate mouthfeel |
| Bakery & desserts | Baked goods, cookies, dessert mixes | Humectant and texturizing support; stable dry blending |
| Frozen desserts | Ice cream and frozen novelties | Sweetness, body and texture control |
| Syrups & toppings | Syrups where caps must not stick | Lower crystallization risk thanks to sucrose-like behaviour |
| Personal care & daily-chemical | Creams, lotions and humectant systems | Emollient / humectant function beyond food |
Typical use directions per the specification. Final product claims must be validated against the rules of your target market.
Clean label starts with what is not in the product. The specification states the product contains none of the ingredients on the EC allergen list - one less paragraph of labelling fine print for sensitive markets.
Beyond the allergen statement, the reference COA reads like a washing certificate:
| Signature numbers | Limit | Reference COA |
| Assay | 99.0% - 101.0% | 99.42% |
| Related products | <= 1% | 0.58% |
| Reducing sugars | <= 0.1% | 0.02% |
| Water | <= 0.5% | 0.09% |
| Conductivity | <= 20 µS/cm | 4.8 µS/cm |
| Sulfated ash | <= 0.10% | 0.02% |
| Lead | <= 0.5 ppm | 0.01 ppm |
| Melting point | 148 - 151°C | 149.5°C |
Conductivity of 4.8 µS/cm against a 20 µS/cm ceiling and lead at 0.01 ppm are the two numbers formulators in sensitive segments ask for first.
