What is maltitol?
Maltitol is a food additive used in industry as a sugar substitute in low-sugar and sugar-free products.
It belongs to the group of sugar alcohols, polyalcohols and is derived from maltose, which is derived from the natural starch of maize. It is available in both liquid and powder form.
One of its main advantages over other substitutes is that it does not flavour the food in which it is used and provides the same sweetness as sugar. These characteristics enable it to be used in a wide variety of products sold in supermarkets.
It is known as the diabetic sugar, as it has similar characteristics, but is metabolised more slowly. This allows people with diabetes to avoid insulin spikes in their blood and to continue eating sweet products.
Utilities
One of the basic uses of maltitol is to sweeten foods without adding many calories.
It is used in powder form in the food industry to make ice cream, industrial pastries, cakes, bread, dairy products and any type of product labelled “sugar-free”. In liquid form it is used to make sweets, chewing gum, mouthwash, toothpaste, etc.
