What is the maltitol?
Maltitol is a
sugar alcohol ( polyol ) used as a sugar substitute.
It has 90% the sweetness of sugar and nearly identical properties, except for browning.
It is used to very easily replace sugar and has less food energy, does not promote tooth decay and has a somewhat lower blood sugar response.
Unfortunately, maltitol is well known to cause gastric distress, particularly if consumed in great quantities.
Chemically,
maltitol is also known as 4-O-alpha-Glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol.
Commercially, it is known under trade names such as
Maltisorb and Maltisweet.
Due to its slow absorption, excessive consumption of Maltitol can have laxative effect and often can cause gas and or bloating.
Maltitol is particularly demonized regarding gastric side effects because it is so easy for food producers to use
it in vast quantities (due to its amazingly sugar-like properties) so consumers often end up consuming far more than they could most other
sugar alcohols.
Maltitol provides between 2 and 3 kcalories/g. Maltitol is largely unaffected by human digestive enzymes,
and is fermented by bacteria in the large intestine, with about 15% of the ingested maltitol appearing unchanged in the feces.
Maltitol in its crystallized form measures the same (bulk) as table sugar and browns and caramelizes in a manner very similar to that
of sucrose after liquifying by exposure to intense heat.
The crystallized form is readily dissolved in warm liquids (120 °F/48.9 °C and above); the powdered form is preferred if room temperature or cold liquids are used.
Due to its sucrose-like structure, maltitol is easy to produce and made commercially available in
crystallized, powdered, and syrup forms.

Application:
maltitol of Application
1. Maltitol hardly decomposes in human body. Therefore, it can be used as foodstuff for patients suffering from diabetes and adipose.
2. As maltitol is good in mouth feeling, moisture protection and non-crystalline, it can be used in production of various candies,
including fermentative cotton candy, hard candy, transparent jelly drops, etc.
3. Features of throat smoothing, tooth cleaning and preventing tooth decay for chewing gum candy pills and chocolate.
4. With a certain viscosity and hard for fermentation, it can be used as substitution for granulated sugar in suspension fruit juice
beverage and lactic acid bevergae to improve mouth feeling.
5. It can be used in ice cream to improve refinement and sweet taste, and prolong shelf life.
