APPLICATION

Maltitol, as safe food ingredient, has been used in various kinds of human and animal products. The World Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization and Food Additives Professional Committee have approved its safety and no restriction on daily usage.


1. Application in functional foods

Almost, Maltitol will not be decomposed in human body, so it can be used as food material for diabetics and obese patients.


2. Used in candy and chocolate production

Maltitol has excellnt 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.


3. Application in fruit juice drinks

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.
