What it is
Diastatic malt syrup is a sweetener made from barley malt. The malting process germinates the barley, activating enzymes that convert starches into sugars. These sugars are then extracted and concentrated into a syrup.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add diastatic malt syrup to baked goods for its sweet flavor and to help with browning and leavening. Its enzymes can also improve dough texture and fermentation. It is often found in bread, bagels, and other bakery items.
Health notes
Diastatic malt syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and sugars. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated malt and malt extracts. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Diastatic malt syrup is derived from barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
