Brief Overview
Maltitol is a type of sugar alcohol that is commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener and sugar substitute in food products. It is derived from maltose, which is a type of sugar that is found naturally in some foods like grains and vegetables. Maltitol has a similar taste and texture to sugar but contains fewer calories and has a lower glycemic index.
Manufacturing Process
Maltitol is manufactured by hydride reduction of double sugar alcohols in maltose. The industrial production process can be divided into two parts. First is the hydrolysis of maltose syrup starch, followed by hydrogenation of the hydrolyzed maltose syrup. These two steps produce maltitol.
