Maltitol
Maltitol is a sugar alcohol (polyol) produced by the hydrogenation of maltose. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is soluble in water. Maltitol is used in food, pharmaceutical, and other formulation applications.
Usage and Applications
Maltitol is used as a sweetening and bulking agent in confectionery, baked goods, chocolate, desserts, beverages, and other food products. It is also used in pharmaceutical formulations and other products where a polyol is required.
Usage levels depend on the formulation, processing requirements, and applicable regulatory limits.
