Maltitol

Maltitol is a member of the family of polyols, which are extracted from starch. This sweetener is extensively used as a traditional sugar substitute when making sugar-free sweet products as it behaves much like saccharose. It comes in liquid format for better homogenisation.

Suitable ingredient pursuant to Pharmacopoeia.
