Maltitol is a new type of functional sweetener. It has been widely used in food industry because of its low calorie, non-carious, difficult to digest, calcium absorption and other physiological characteristics, and has attracted widespread attention.
Maltitol is a kind of crystal powder or colorless liquid obtained from high quality corn starch by enzymatic liquefaction, saccharification, hydrogenation and refining. Crystalline Maltitol obtained by hydrogenation has the same chemical structure as natural Maltitol, which can be called natural safe functional food ingredients.

Almost, Maltitol will not be decomposed in human body, so it can be used as food material.
Maltitol has excellent characteristics such as unique flavor, good taste, moisture retention and non-crystallinity. So it can be used to make a variety of candies, including foamed marshmallow, hard candy, transparent soft candy and so on.
Maltitol has a certain degree of viscosity, and difficult to be fermented. So in the manufacture of suspended fruit juice beverage or lactic acid beverage, maltitol used as additives can partially replace granulated sugar, which can make the beverage with a full mouth feel and smooth taste.
