Maltitol is a high-purity disaccharide polyol produced by the hydrogenation of maltose, offering 90% the sweetness of sugar. This Food Grade sweetener is non-cariogenic and provides a significantly lower glycemic response than traditional sucrose.
As a Pharmaceutical Grade excipient, it serves as a robust bulking agent for sugar-free chewable tablets and syrups. It is highly stable at high temperatures, resisting browning and caramelization during industrial baking and confectionery processing.
The product provides a sucrose-like mouthfeel and body, making it ideal for high-quality sugar-reduced chocolates and snacks. It is non-hygroscopic in its crystalline form, ensuring excellent shelf-life for moisture-sensitive products.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Maltitol (CAS 585-88-6) to customers in more than 40 countries.
