Lactitol Analysis Service

Lactitol is a sugar alcohol derived from the hydrogenation of lactose, consisting of one molecule of galactose and one molecule of sorbitol linked through a β-1,4-glycosidic bond. It is commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener in foods, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals due to its mild sweetness, low glycemic index, and beneficial prebiotic properties. Chemically, lactitol has the molecular formula C12H24O11 and retains structural features of lactose, making it non-cariogenic and suitable for diabetic-friendly formulations. As the demand for reduced-sugar and health-oriented products grows, accurate analysis of lactitol content, purity, and stability becomes crucial for product development, regulatory compliance, and metabolic research.
