What is Maltitol Syrup and how does it differ from crystalline Maltitol powder?
Maltitol Powder is the crystalline solid form used in direct compression tablets, lozenges, and dry mixes. Maltitol Syrup is a concentrated aqueous solution of Maltitol (approximately 75% w/w) used in sugar-free confectionery coatings, panning operations, and soft tablet coatings. Maltitol Syrup has greater humectancy and provides a softer texture compared to crystalline Maltitol. We supply Maltitol Powder; Maltitol Syrup can be quoted on request.
How does Maltitol compare to Xylitol and Sorbitol as a pharmaceutical sweetener?
Maltitol (75–90% sweetness of sucrose, GI ~35) sits between Xylitol (GI ~7, 100% sweetness) and Sorbitol (GI ~9, 60% sweetness) in terms of glycaemic impact, sweetness, and cost. Maltitol is the most sucrose-like of the polyols in both taste and physical properties — it caramelises, has similar bulk, and provides good mouthfeel in chocolate and confectionery. For lowest glycaemic impact, Xylitol or Sorbitol are better choices. For best taste parity with sucrose in chocolate-type formulations, Maltitol is preferred.
Is Maltitol non-cariogenic (cavity-safe)?
Maltitol is considered non-cariogenic or significantly less cariogenic than sucrose. Oral bacteria ferment Maltitol very slowly compared to sucrose, producing far less acid. While it does not have the active anticaries properties of Xylitol, it does not promote dental caries and is approved for non-cariogenic labelling claims in many markets. It is a compliant sweetener for sugar-free oral pharmaceutical products and confectionery under most international standards.
