Sugar alcohol Series
Maltitol
Description:
Maltitol is a refined disaccharide alcohol, it is made from starch through the process of hydrolysis and hydrogenation. It is a colorless, transparent, viscid thick liquid with neutral reaction; it is easily soluble in water; its sweetness is slightly lower than that of sucrose; the sweetness gives a gentle and pleasant sensation; it has the characters of low-calorie, good heat-resistance, acid-resistance, unfermentable and stable humidity etc.; it will not cause the blood glucose level to rise in human body. It is a new function sweetener widely used in food, medicine and healthy food industries.
I. Performance
..Easily dissolve in water
..Similar sweetness as sucrose, gentle sweet without after taste
· Great moisture retention,can be moisture protection agent for food or prevent caking of sucrose
· No utilization by mould, yeast or lactic-acid bacteria,can be anti-cariogenic
· Slow metabolism and absorption in human body,can be good low calorie sweetener
· Not higher blood sugar lever when consume maltitol,not affect insulin
· Low calorie value and same time can inhibit the fat generation in the body when you eat maltitol with other high-fat food
· High emulsification stability,can be used instead of fat to product low calorie food and also keep same flavor meanwhile.
II. Applicable Fields
1.Fuctional food
Nearly no absorption or anabolism in human body,can be used as raw material to produce food to diabetic and obesity patients
.Confectionary and chocolate
With maltitol’s good taste,moisture retention and non-crystallization,good to be used for producting confectionery,including cotton candy,hard candy,transparent soft candy and etc.
2. Fruit juice drinks
Viscosity and non-fermentation,good to be in floating fruit juicy drinks or lactic acid drinks instead of suger,to get a better,fuller and smoother taste.
3· Frozen food
Add maltitol into ice cream to make it finer and viscous,the product can taste fuller sweet and have longer shelf like.
