What it is
Maltitol syrup is a sugar alcohol produced from maltose, which is a sugar found in starch. It is made by hydrogenating maltose. This process converts some of the maltose into other sugar alcohols like sorbitol and mannitol.
Why it's used
Maltitol syrup is used as a bulk sweetener in sugar-free and reduced-sugar products. It provides sweetness and texture similar to sugar but with fewer calories. It is commonly found in sugar-free candies, chewing gum, baked goods, and ice cream.
Health notes
Maltitol syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is not fully absorbed by the body, and consuming large amounts can have a laxative effect. JECFA has evaluated maltitol and established an acceptable daily intake (ADI). EFSA has also evaluated maltitol and found it safe.
Allergen info
Maltitol syrup is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
