Maltitol Syrups

Maltitol and maltitol syrups like other polyols are hydrogenated carbohydrates known as sugar replacers, bulk sweeteners or sugar-free sweeteners. Today, they are mostly used in food applications like chocolate, confectionery, dairy and bakery applications. While being less caloric than sugars, maltitol and maltitol syrups also offer technological advantages in food formulation such as cooling effect, humectancy and solubility. Their benefits on the reduction of glycaemic response and on dental health are well known and acknowledged by health authorities in Europe and Americas. Their usage is now expanded in sugar-free pharmaceutical products (e.g. cough syrups).
