What’s Organic Maltitol Powder?
Organic maltitol powder is a sugar alcohol (a polyol) that can be used as a sugar substitute. It has 75-90% of the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar) and almost the same characteristics, except for browning. It is now used more and more to replace sugar, because it has only half of the calories, does not promote tooth decay, and has a slightly less impact on blood sugar. In chemical terms, maltitol is called 4-O-α-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol.
Maltitol is a low-calorie sugar substitute with a taste similar to sugar. The sweetness of maltitol is about 90% of sugar, and it can be replaced with sugar almost 1:1. The consumption of maltitol will only cause a very small increase in blood sugar and insulin levels, and it contains only about half of the calories of sugar.
Maltitol is used in the production of, for example, candies, biscuits, chocolates, various desserts, ice cream, jams, chewing gum, and the like.
Adult daily doses exceeding 30-50 grams may cause laxative effects. Hence the maximum daily consumption. It is recommended to use 30-50 grams.
