Maltitol Syrup is a sugar replacement and food ingredient that is derived from high maltose-content glucose syrup through a process known as catalytic hydrogenation. This process alters the chemical structure of the glucose molecules to create maltitol, a sugar alcohol (or polyol).
Characterised by its colourless appearance, lack of odour, and clear viscous consistency, Maltitol syrup is a liquid with a thick, syrupy texture. This clear liquid form makes it versatile for various food applications.
Sweetener – Used as a sweetener in food and beverage products, it provides a sweetness comparable to sucrose but with fewer calories, making it a popular choice for low-calorie and sugar-free products.
Humectant – Due to its ability to retain moisture, maltitol syrup serves as a humectant in food products to prevent them from drying out.
Texturiser – Maltitol syrup is employed to enhance the texture and mouthfeel of products, contributing to the smoothness, creaminess, and chewiness of foods.
Stabiliser – Maltitol syrup helps to maintain the consistency of various food products, preventing ingredients from separating or undergoing undesirable changes during processing and storage.
Bulking Agent – Maltitol syrup adds volume to food products without significantly increasing its calorie content, making it great for low-calorie or reduced-sugar food products.
