Description

Maltitol CAS NO 585-88-6 is a polyol (sugar alcohol) widely used as a bulk sweetener and humectant. It is valued for its low glycemic index, reduced caloric content, and excellent stability, making it a key ingredient in sugar-free and reduced-calorie formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the food, confectionery, and pharmaceutical industries seeking high-quality, functional sugar alternatives.

Application

• Sugar-Free Confectionery: Primary sweetener in sugar-free hard candies, chewing gum, chocolates, and gummies, providing sweetness and bulk without promoting tooth decay.
• Bakery & Dairy Products: Used in sugar-free cakes, cookies, ice cream, and yogurts to provide sweetness, texture, and moisture retention.
• Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals: Acts as an excipient in chewable tablets, syrups, and lozenges, serving as a sweet, non-cariogenic carrier with low hygroscopicity.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a humectant and conditioning agent in toothpaste, mouthwash, and skin care products to retain moisture and improve texture.
• Industrial Applications: Utilized as a chemical intermediate and a humectant in various technical and specialty chemical processes.
