Key Features of Maltitol Powder:

  1. Sweetness: Maltitol powder provides a sweetness similar to sucrose (table sugar) but with fewer calories. It is approximately 90% as sweet as sugar, allowing for a similar taste experience in food and beverages.

  2. Lower Calorie Content: Compared to sugar, maltitol powder has fewer calories. It contains about 2.1 calories per gram, while sucrose has 4 calories per gram. This lower calorie content can be beneficial for individuals who are watching their calorie intake or following a reduced-calorie diet.

  3. Sugar Alcohol: Maltitol belongs to the category of sugar alcohols, also known as polyols. It is not fully absorbed by the body and is metabolized more slowly than regular sugar. Due to this slower metabolism, maltitol has a reduced impact on blood sugar levels.

  4. Bulking Agent: Maltitol powder serves as a bulking agent and contributes to the texture and mouthfeel of various food products. It can help provide volume and structure in baked goods, confections, and other processed foods.

  5. Dental Benefits: Maltitol does not promote tooth decay. In fact, it is often used in sugar-free or "tooth-friendly" candies, gums, and oral care products because it does not contribute to cavities.

Applications of Maltitol Powder:

  1. Food Industry: Maltitol powder is widely used in the food industry as a sugar substitute and sweetener. It can be found in sugar-free or reduced-sugar versions of candies, chocolates, baked goods, desserts, ice creams, jams, and jellies.

  2. Confectionery Products: Maltitol is often used in sugar-free candies and chewing gums to provide sweetness and texture. It can mimic the properties of sugar, such as bulk and caramelization, in confectionery products.

  3. Baked Goods: Maltitol powder can be incorporated into baked goods like cookies, cakes, and muffins to reduce sugar content while maintaining sweetness and texture.

  4. Nutritional Bars and Snacks: Maltitol is a common ingredient in low-sugar or sugar-free nutritional bars and snacks. It can help provide sweetness and structure to these products.

  5. Pharmaceutical Formulations: Maltitol powder is used in certain pharmaceutical formulations, such as syrups or chewable tablets, where it acts as a sweetener and bulking agent.
