Product Introduction

Maltitol

Maltitol, also known as hydrogenated maltose, has a chemical name of 1,4-o-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol. It is made up of 1 molecule of glucose connected to a sorbitol through an α-1,4-bond Composed of disaccharides. The molecular formula is C12H24O11 and the relative molecular mass is 344.31. Maltitol is a colorless transparent crystal, easily soluble in water, but hardly soluble in methanol and ethanol.

Maltitol is obtained from the hydrogenation of maltose. It is an earlier sugar alcohol used in low-calorie sweeteners. There are two products: one is a colorless crystalline product; the other is a colorless viscous liquid with high sweetness and calories Low, good safety, sufficient raw materials, simple manufacturing process, unique properties that other sweeteners do not have, maltitol is used in oral preparations, candy, etc.

Maltitol is a new type of sweetener, which is widely used in sugar-flavored food processing. In the past, the sweeteners consumed by people were basically high-calorie, high-sweet sugars, which easily caused diseases such as diabetes, obesity, arteriosclerosis, and heart failure. Maltitol has high sweetness, low calories, good safety, sufficient raw materials, simple manufacturing process, and unique properties that other sweeteners do not have.

APPLICATIONS:

1. Food Industry

(1) Low-calorie functional sweetener

(2) Used as a fat substitute

(3) It can be used as a sweetener for high-fat foods such as ice cream, butter pastries, toffee, etc. It can inhibit body fat accumulation and prevent obesity.

(4) It is used to process chewing gum, candy, cakes, beverages and food for children and the elderly, etc., which can promote the absorption of calcium by the human body, and can prevent dental caries and senile porosity.

(5) It is used to process preserved fruits, jellies, pickles, etc., which can extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.

(6) Used in breads and pastries to extend shelf life.

2. Chemical Industry

It can be used as a raw material for synthetic chemistry to produce synthetic resins, surfactants, contact agents, etc.

3. Pharmaceutical industry

It can be made into medicinal beverages and other products specifically for patients with diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, obesity, and osteoporosis.

4. Cosmetics

Since maltitol has good hygroscopicity and moisturizing properties, it can be used as a certain component of cosmetics and as a moisture regulator.
