* Maltitol
is a sugar free, reduced calorie sweetener made from corn. It has a pleasant sugar-like taste and sweetness. Maltitol has about half the calories of sugar and is useful for making a variety of sugar free and reduced calorie foods.
Maltitol is a unique sweetener because it not only tastes like sugar, but it also acts like sugar and provides bulk or volume like sugar. Hence, it is used as a direct cup-for-cup replacement for sugar.
Because maltitol so closely replicates the functional properties of sugar, it provides superior results across a wide variety of food product applications, particularly in cooking, baking and candy making.
Maltitol is very suitable for diabetic, low carbohydrate and reduced calorie diets. Maltitol does not promote tooth decay.
