Maltitol
Product introduction:
Maltitol is a disaccharide alcohol obtained by hydrolysis, hydrogenation and refining of starch. It is a new functional sweetener. Its sweetness is equivalent to 90% of sucrose, with mild sweetness, no aftertaste and excellent taste. Low calorie, difficult to digest and absorb, less increase in blood glucose, no increase in cholesterol and almost no decomposition in the body. Therefore, it has no stimulating effect on the secretion of insulin necessary for glucose metabolism, which reduces the secretion of insulin. Thus, maltol can be used as a sweetener for diabetics. It is hygroscopic, difficult to be fermented by microorganisms, and has many excellent physiological functional characteristics. Maltitol has been widely used in food, chemical, health products and cosmetics industries.

Appearance: Colorless transparent neutral viscous liquid
Product purpose:
1. A low calorific value sweetener with unique performance. No fermentation, no digestion after entering the human body, suitable for diabetes and obesity patients. It has good moisturizing and high viscosity. The moisturizing effect is better than sorbitol or even glycerol. According to China's regulations, it can be used for cakes, biscuits, bread, ice cream, popsicles, beverages, candy and pickles, and can be used in an appropriate amount according to production needs.
2. It can be used as a preservative, viscous agent, moisturizer and quality improver of preserved fruits. It can also improve the flavor of saccharin sodium.
Maltitol is an alpha-D-glucoside consisting of D-glucitol having an alpha-D-glucosyl residue attached at the 4-position.It derives from an alpha-D-glucose and a D-glucitol.
(1) .Used as a sugar substitute.
(2) .It has a role as a metabolite, a laxative and a sweetening agent.
