What is Organic Maltitol Powder?
Organic Maltitol Powder disaccharide alcohol made by hydrogenation and reduction of maltose. In industry, its production process can be divided into two parts. The first part is to hydrolyze starch into high maltose syrup, and the second part is to hydrogenate and reduce the prepared maltose syrup to make maltitol.
Maltitol is a new type of sweetener, which is widely used in sugar-flavored food processing. In the past, the sweeteners that people consumed were basically high-calorie, high-sweet sugars. Maltitol has high sweetness, low calories, good safety, sufficient raw materials, a simple manufacturing process, and has unique properties that other sweeteners do not have.

Applications
Because of the special skill, crystalline maltitol has been widely used in food, health care products, daily health products, such as ice cream, juice products, biscuits, pickles, candy, etc.
Like dietary fiber, maltitol crystals can be decomposed to produce short-chain fatty acids under the action of intestinal bacteria, inhibiting the occurrence of colorectal cancer, and can be used to produce healthy foods with dietary fiber effects.
