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
Primary Uses
- Food & Beverage Industry

Secondary Uses
- Oral Care Products
- Sugar-Free Flavoring: Added to toothpaste, mouthwash, and oral rinses to enhance taste without promoting tooth decay.
- Dental-Friendly Chewing Gum: Promotes oral health due to its non-fermentable nature by oral bacteria.
- cosmetics & Personal Care
- Humectant: Occasionally used in moisturizers, lotions, and creams for its water-binding ability and skin-softening properties.
- Non-Sticky Sweetener: Used in lip care or edible cosmetic products for a mild sweetening effect.
- Pet Food and Animal Supplements
- Palatability Enhancer: Used in small quantities in specialized pet foods and supplements to improve taste.
- Laboratory and Research
- Sugar Model Compound: Used in testing as a sugar analog in digestion, metabolic, or food science research.

Corn Starch Food Grade
Corn Starch Food Grade is a fine, white, powdery carbohydrate extracted from the endosperm of corn kernels (Zea mays). It is a natural, tasteless, and odorless polysaccharide composed primarily of amylose and amylopectin. Corn starch is widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, and binding agent in food products due to its excellent gelatinization properties. It serves as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in many culinary and industrial applications. Corn starch is valued for its versatility, digestibility, and neutral flavor profile, making it a staple ingredient in both home cooking and commercial food production.
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.
Icing Sugar Super refined
Icing Sugar Super refined, also known as powdered sugar or confectioners' sugar, is a finely ground white sugar produced by milling granulated sugar into a smooth, powdery form. This grade of icing sugar has an ultra-fine texture with a particle size typically less than 50 microns, ensuring quick solubility and a smooth finish. It often contains a small percentage of anti-caking agent such as cornstarch or tricalcium phosphate to prevent clumping.
