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.

Aspartame
Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). It is a methyl ester of the dipeptide composed of aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Due to its intense sweetness and low-calorie nature, aspartame is widely used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products. It is popular among consumers seeking to reduce caloric intake, especially diabetics and those on weight management programs. Aspartame breaks down at high temperatures, limiting its use in certain cooking or baking applications. It is approved by numerous global food safety authorities, including the FDA and EFSA.
Aspartame FCC IV 100 Mesh
Aspartame FCC IV 100 Mesh is a high-purity, fine crystalline powder form of aspartame, meeting Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) grade IV specifications, and ground to a 100 mesh particle size. This fine particle size improves its solubility and dispersibility in beverages and other formulations. Aspartame is an intense artificial sweetener approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose. It is widely used as a low-calorie sugar substitute in various food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care products. This form is preferred for applications requiring rapid dissolution and uniform sweetness.
Dextrose Monohydrate
Dextrose Monohydrate is a crystalline form of glucose containing one molecule of water (monohydrate). It is a primary carbohydrate source widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and clinical nutrition applications. It provides readily available energy, serves as a sweetening agent, and acts as an osmotic agent in formulations. Dextrose Monohydrate meets pharmacopoeial standards (such as BP, USP) ensuring high purity, consistency, and safety for use in medical and food-grade products. Its solubility and stable crystalline form make it suitable for intravenous fluids, oral rehydration solutions, and food industry applications.
Fructose
Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, is a naturally occurring monosaccharide found in many plants, fruits, honey, and root vegetables. It is a simple sugar with a sweet taste and is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, alongside glucose and galactose. Fructose appears as a white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, and is commonly used as a sweetener in food and beverage industries due to its high relative sweetness. It plays important roles in metabolism and is used extensively in the production of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and other sweetening agents.
Icing Sugar
Icing Sugar, also known as powdered sugar or confectioners’ sugar, is a finely ground sugar with a powdery consistency. It is typically made by milling granulated sugar into a fine powder and blending it with a small amount of anti-caking agent (usually cornstarch or tricalcium phosphate) to prevent clumping. Icing Sugar is white, odorless, and has a sweet taste. It is widely used in baking, confectionery, and culinary applications to provide sweetness, texture, and decorative finishes.
Lactose Monohydrate 200 Mesh
Lactose Monohydrate 200 Mesh is a fine, white, crystalline powder derived from milk sugar with a particle size of 200 mesh, indicating very fine granules. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and confectionery industries as a filler, binder, and stabilizer. Lactose Monohydrate is valued for its excellent compressibility, low hygroscopicity, and compatibility with many active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The monohydrate form contains one molecule of water, enhancing its stability and flow properties.
Sodium Saccharin
Sodium Saccharin is a white crystalline powder or granule with the chemical formula C₇H₄NNaO₃S·2H₂O. It is the sodium salt of saccharin, an artificial sweetener approximately 300–500 times sweeter than sucrose. This non-nutritive, zero-calorie sweetener is widely used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries. Packaged in 25kg containers, it is highly soluble in water, heat-stable, and has excellent shelf life, making it a cost-effective and versatile sweetening agent.
