Maltitol Powder (E965) is a white, crystalline, free-flowing polyol produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of maltose. This listing is specified for one job: being the bulk sweetener that lets caramel, nougat, marshmallow and fudge be made sugar-free without giving up the texture consumers judge them by.
Soft and whipped confections are the hardest sugar-free category to get right, because sugar is more than sweetness there: it is body, chew, grain and shelf behaviour. Maltitol is the polyol closest to sucrose on all four counts. It delivers 75-90% of the sweetness of sucrose (typically around 90%), so a recipe can be reformulated on a straight replacement basis instead of being rebuilt around a high-intensity sweetener. It has a negligible cooling effect, which means caramel and fudge do not finish with the sharp, minty bite that betrays so many sugar-free confections. It is highly soluble, so it dissolves cleanly into the cook with no grit left in the finished piece, and it holds a syrup without crystallizing out on the shelf.
Two chemical properties matter specifically for this product family. Maltitol is a non-reducing sugar alcohol: it does not take part in the Maillard reaction with the milk proteins present in nougat, fudge and milk caramel, so there is no uncontrolled browning or cooked-milk off-note developing in storage; colour and caramel character are built in deliberately with colour and flavour, and stay where the formulator put them. And it is markedly less hygroscopic than sorbitol, so marshmallow and nougat surfaces stay drier and less tacky in the bag, which shows up directly in shelf life and in how the piece handles on a warm packing line.
The powder leaves our plant to BP, USP, EP and FCC specification, with assay guaranteed at 99.0%-101.0% and lead, nickel and arsenic each held at 0.5 ppm max. It contains none of the ingredients on the EC list of allergens, is non-GMO, and is produced under ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 with Halal and Kosher certification, so the clean-label and religious-compliance paperwork on your finished product stays intact. Food Grade and Pharmaceutical Grade are both available.
Every batch ships with its own Certificate of Analysis. Trial quantities from 100 kg and full-container volumes are both supplied, with a technical contact for replacement ratios and process adjustment on the specific piece you are running.

Conclusion: the results conform to the specification.
Maltitol carries the chew. It holds a high-solids cook without crystallizing out during cooling, and its negligible cooling effect keeps the caramel note clean from first bite to finish. Because maltitol is non-reducing, it does not brown through the Maillard reaction: colour and caramel flavour are added deliberately, so the shade of the finished piece stays consistent from batch to batch rather than drifting with cook time. For chewy textures the powder is normally combined with maltitol syrup to set the final chew and control the crystal phase; the powder handles the solids balance and the dry-side sweetness.
Nougat is a whipped system: a frappe of albumen or another whipping protein, a cooked syrup, and fat. Maltitol supplies sucrose-like sweetness and body to that frappe with none of the sharp cooling edge that high-intensity sweeteners leave behind, and it stays stable through the heat of the cook. Being non-reducing, it does not react with the milk proteins in nougat, so there is no darkening or stale cooked-milk note developing during shelf life. The powder is used in the dry blend and for surface dusting; the syrup phase sets the chew.
Marshmallow needs a high-solids, fast-setting system that stays soft in the bag. Maltitol's high solubility lets it be cooked to the required solids without recrystallizing in the depositor, and its lower hygroscopicity compared with sorbitol keeps the starch-dusted surface from going tacky, which is the most common complaint on sugar-free marshmallow. The 20-40 mesh cut disperses evenly into the mix with no lumps forming before the whip.
In fudge, texture is grain. Maltitol's controlled crystallization behaviour gives the fine, short grain a good fudge needs rather than a coarse or sandy mouthfeel, and the 20-40 mesh powder dissolves evenly into the cook so there are no undissolved crystals left to seed large ones. Because there is no Maillard browning, the cook can be held longer without colour drift, and the finished slab cuts cleanly.
The same grade also serves sugar-free chocolate and compound coatings, hard candy, chewing gum and panning, bakery and cereal bars, ice cream and frozen dessert, syrups and beverages, and, in Pharmaceutical Grade, chewable and effervescent tablets, sugar-free syrups and gelatin capsule plasticizing. Buyers running more than one sugar-free line can consolidate onto a single maltitol grade.
Process support: replacement ratios, cook temperatures and crystal-phase adjustment differ by piece and by equipment. Send us your current sucrose formula and we will advise on the maltitol substitution and on where the powder and the syrup should split.
Maltitol Powder is produced under controlled manufacturing conditions and released after passing a full physical, chemical and microbiological test panel against the BP / USP / EP / FCC specification. Each batch is tested for assay, related products, specific optical rotation, reducing sugars, water, sulphates, sulfate, chloride, conductivity, sulfated ash, heavy metals, lead, nickel, arsenic, melting point, total bacteria count, molds and yeasts, E. coli and Salmonella.
Assay is guaranteed at 99.0%-101.0% and the three metals that matter most in a polyol - lead, nickel and arsenic - are each held at 0.5 ppm max, with residual nickel from the hydrogenation step specifically controlled. Every shipment carries a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis so your QA and procurement teams can verify purity, physical properties and microbiological safety against the agreed specification before release into production.
The plant operates under ISO 9001 and ISO 22000, with Halal and Kosher certification for the grade supplied against those requirements.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong odours and direct sunlight. Keep bags sealed and off the floor to limit moisture uptake and contamination. Under recommended conditions the powder stays stable and free-flowing throughout its shelf life; rotate stock first in, first out. Reseal partly used bags immediately: maltitol is less hygroscopic than sorbitol but will still pick up moisture from humid air on an open pallet.
