What is Organic Maltitol Powder?
Organic Maltitol Powder is a premium sugar substitute derived from 100% certified organic, non-GMO plant sources (e.g., corn, tapioca) through enzymatic hydrolysis. This low-calorie sweetener delivers 60% of sucrose’s sweetness with minimal glycemic impact (GI 35), making it suitable for ketogenic, diabetic, and reduced-sugar formulations. Certified organic processing ensures no synthetic solvents or carriers.

Applications
Industry | Recommended Use Cases | Usage Level |
---|---|---|
Bakery | Sugar-free cookies, cakes | 1:1 sucrose replacement |
Confectionery | Chocolates, gummies, hard candies | 25–50% of total sweetener |
Beverages | Protein shakes, functional drinks | 0.5–3% by weight |

FAQs
Q: Tolerance levels for digestive comfort?
A: ≤40g/day suggested (vs. erythritol ≤60g). LD50 >20g/kg BW (OECD 423 certified).
Q: Suitable for keto diets?
A: Yes – negligible net carbs. Does not spike blood glucose (confirmed GI 35).
Q: Can it caramelize like sugar?
A: Caramelizes at 165°C (vs. sucrose 160°C). Use with 0.1% citrate to prevent crystallization.
Q: MOQ for organic certification batches?
A: 500kg (supports full organic chain-of-custody documentation).
Q: Synergy with other sweeteners?
A: Blends optimally with stevia (mask bitterness) or allulose (enhance browning).
