What is Organic Maltitol Powder?
Organic Maltitol Powder is a natural, low-calorie sugar substitute derived from organic corn or other organic plant sources. It belongs to the sugar alcohol family and is commonly used as a sweetener in food products, offering the sweetness of sugar with fewer calories and a minimal glycemic index impact. It is often used in the production of sugar-free and low-sugar products such as candies, baked goods, chewing gum, and diet beverages. Organic Maltitol Powder is produced without the use of synthetic chemicals or pesticides, making it a perfect choice for clean-label products.
Production Process:
- Sourcing: Organic corn or other organic plant materials are sourced from certified organic farms.

- Purification: The maltitol is purified and crystallized to produce a fine powder, suitable for use in a wide variety of food and beverage products.
- Drying: The final product is dried into a powder form, making it easy to use in applications where a dry sweetener is needed.
- Syrup Option: For applications requiring a liquid form, the powder can be processed into Organic Maltitol Syrup through controlled addition of water and other ingredients.
Key Features:
- 100% Organic: Certified organic by USDA and EU Organic standards, ensuring the product is free from GMOs, pesticides, and harmful chemicals.
