If you are formulating a sugar-free or reduced-sugar product and need a bulk sweetener that behaves much like sugar, maltitol powder is the material to reach for. It is a disaccharide obtained by hydrogenating maltose from starch, and it is supplied as a white, crystalline powder that also contains small amounts of sorbitol and related polyhydric alcohols — the normal companion alcohols of this product type.
Chemically, maltitol has the formula C12H24O11 and a molecular weight of 344.31. It is very soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol, so it dissolves quickly in aqueous systems and can be dosed into syrups, fillings, coatings and dry pre-mixes with ordinary mixing equipment. Its sweetness is close to that of sucrose, which means it can carry a recipe on its own instead of being combined with a second sweetener. And because its cooling effect is negligible — it has a positive heat of solution — the finished product keeps the subtle, familiar mouthfeel of sucrose rather than the sharp coolness of some other polyols.
There is one more behaviour worth noting for liquid applications: maltitol does not crystallize easily in solution. Syrups built on it are therefore much less likely to throw crystals that clog nozzles or weld bottle caps shut.
The material is supplied as Food Grade (FCC V) and is tested against BP / USP / EP / FCC specifications, with a Certificate of Analysis issued for every batch.

Conclusion: the results conform to the specification.
Maltitol powder is a sweetener, humectant, texturizing agent and stabilizer in one. That combination is why it appears across confectionery, bakery, frozen desserts, liquid formulations and pharmaceutical products, wherever a sugar-free system still needs sugar-like behaviour.
Confectionery. This is the classic home for maltitol. It is used in the production of sweets, notably sugarless hard candies, chewing gum and chocolates. It supplies bulk and sweetness close to sucrose while keeping the candy sugar-free, and its texturizing and stabilizing action helps hold the piece together through processing and shelf life.
Bakery and frozen desserts. In baked goods and ice cream, maltitol contributes sweetness alongside humectancy and body, helping products retain moisture and structure.
Syrups and liquid formulations. Because crystallization is less likely, maltitol can be used in syrups with the advantage that the solids are far less prone to crystallizing out — the failure mode that can make bottle caps stick.
Pharmaceutical. The pharmaceutical industry uses maltitol as an excipient and as a low-calorie sweetening agent. It can also serve as a plasticizer in gelatin capsules, and as an emollient and humectant.
