Maltitol

Maltitol is a sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohols are found naturally in some fruits and vegetables. They’re also considered carbohydrates. Sugar alcohols are typically manufactured rather than being used in their natural form. They’re sweet, but not quite as sweet as sugar, and have almost half the calories.

Maltitol allows you to get a sweetness that is close to that of sugar, but with fewer calories. For this reason, it may help with weight loss. It also doesn’t have the unpleasant aftertaste that other sugar substitutes tend to have. This can help you to stick to a lower-calorie diet if you’re trying to lose weight or manage diabetes. Maltitol, and other sugar alcohols, also don’t cause cavities or tooth decay like sugar and other sweeteners do.

Advantages of Maltitol

1. Maltitol is a low-calorie sweetener used in processed foods and drinks. It’s a useful replacement for table sugar (sucrose) because it’s almost as sweet (about 90%), but lower in calories. It tastes similar to sucrose as well.

2. Maltitol can prevent browning and add moisture to processed baked goods. It’s sometimes added to chewing gums and candies to create a cooling sensation in the mouth.

3. Maltitol is a carbohydrate that contains 2.1 calories per gram. It has fewer calories than most carbohydrates, including regular sugar, which has 4 calories per gram.
