Maltitol
Product introduction:
Maltitol has high sweetness, low heat and good safety. It is a natural and safe functional food ingredient.
Molecular formula:C12H24O11
Structure:
CAS No.: 585-88-6
Functional features:
Improve food characteristics
Natural sweetness: the sweetness of maltitol is 80% - 90% of sucrose, with soft flavor and no irritation.
No Maillard reaction: maltitol has no free sugar group and will not have Maillard reaction when heated with amino acids or proteins.
Extend the shelf life of food: maltitol is a kind of difficult fermentable sugar, which can prolong the shelf life of food.
Meet functional requirements:
Non cariogenic: maltitol is not an acid producing substrate, which is not easy to be used and converted into acid by bacteria in the mouth, and will not lead to dental caries.
Low calorie: malttol has low absorption rate in human body. It can be used as an ideal sweetener for diabetics and obese people.
Product application:
Candy: the use of Maltol's moisture retention, crystallization resistance, adsorption and retention of flavor and flavor properties and the absence of Maillard reaction characteristics, used to make high quality candy.
Drinks: maltitol can be directly used in drinks instead of sucrose or combined with other sugar alcohols to improve the taste and stability of drinks and reduce calories.
Dessert: biscuits and bread made of maltitol have soft taste, better flavor than sucrose biscuits and bread, and low calories.
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.
