Maltitol is a hydrogenated disaccharide polyol offering sweetness close to sucrose with reduced calories.
It is widely used in sugar-free confectionery, chewing gum, bakery, chocolate, and pharmaceutical syrups and lozenges.
Maltitol provides bulk, texture, and stability similar to sugar, with good humectancy and non-cariogenic properties.
It is often preferred where clean sweetness, good solubility, and lower glycemic impact are desired compared to sucrose.
Proper formulation considers its mild laxative potential at high dosages, in line with labeling regulations.
