According to market research data, the production of Maltitol in China's market has grown steadily in the past few years, with a market output of 184400 tons in 2022.
According to research, Maltitol has the characteristics of low hygroscopicity, acid stability, and anti crystallization, which can improve the stability of product texture and make the product taste silky smooth. Compared to using Xylitol, Erythritol, and other substances separately, the addition of Maltitol can cause the evaporation of surface moisture in candies and other products, leading to a crystallization process and the formation of a glassy structure with a smooth and shiny surface. Maltitol can be used as a substitute for sucrose in candies, chocolate, fruit juice drinks, ice cream, and other products, making their taste delicate, sweet, and delicious.
