Maltitol Powder
Whatsapp Order
Maltitol Powder is a white, crystalline polyol (sugar alcohol) derived from hydrogenated maltose obtained from starch sources like corn or wheat. It is a low-calorie, high-sweetness sugar substitute with about 90% the sweetness of sucrose but significantly fewer calories (approximately 2.1 kcal/g vs. 4 kcal/g for sugar). It has excellent solubility, low hygroscopicity, and provides a clean, sweet taste without an aftertaste. Maltitol Powder is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical applications for its sugar-like properties, making it suitable for diabetic, low-carb, and dental-friendly formulations.
Description
Maltitol Powder
