[ Description ]
Maltitol is a sugar alcohol commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener in food. It is derived from maltose, with a sweetness of about 75-90% that of sucrose, but with lower calories (approximately 2.1 kcal/g compared to 4 kcal/g for sucrose). Maltitol is widely used in sugar-free or low-sugar products, such as candies, chewing gum, chocolate, and baked goods, due to its taste similar to sucrose and its non-cariogenic properties.
