What is Maltitol Crystalline?
Maltitol Crystalline is a polyol (or sugar alcohol), and is a great sugar replacement and food ingredient, that is derived from Maltose Syrup. It is hydrogenated, refined and crystalised from the forementioned Maltose Syrup. This produces a white, or off-white, odourless powder.
Maltitol Crystalline and sugar are often used interchangeably, as Maltitol about 90% as sweet, however possesses zero sugar, so therefore is a perfect replacement and is often used in sugar-free or reduced-sugar products, catering to those with diabetes or on low-carb diets. It also has several applications across various industries.
