Maltitol Analysis Service

Maltitol is a hydrogenated disaccharide polyol widely used as a low-calorie sweetener in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries. Derived from maltose through catalytic hydrogenation, it possesses about 90% of the sweetness of sucrose but with a lower caloric value and minimal impact on blood glucose levels. Maltitol's favorable sensory properties, including its sweetness profile and stability under heat and acidic conditions, make it an essential ingredient in sugar-free and reduced-calorie products such as confectionery, baked goods, and pharmaceuticals.
