Product Functional Category and Applications

1. It does not raise blood sugar or stimulate insulin secretion. When maltitol is ingested, blood sugar does not rise rapidly and it does not stimulate insulin secretion, making it an ideal sweetener for people with diabetes or liver disease.

2. Maltitol is not converted into acid by oral microorganisms (such as S-mutant streptococci), and has excellent non-cariogenic properties. Therefore, it can be used to process sugar-free candies, making them safe for children and adults to consume.

3. When maltitol is consumed with fat, it can inhibit excessive fat storage in the body. The presence of insulin increases the activity of lipase (LPL), promoting the storage of excessive fat in animal adipose tissue. Because maltitol does not stimulate insulin secretion, consuming maltitol with fat can inhibit fat storage.

4. Promotes calcium absorption. Takasc, Coda, and others conducted experiments on rats to determine the effect of maltitol on calcium absorption. The results showed that rats fed maltitol excreted significantly less calcium in their feces, indicating that maltitol can improve calcium absorption and retention. Therefore, it can be used in high-calcium yogurt products.

5. Maltitol is relatively stable to heat and acid, and its viscosity is twice that of xylitol and sorbitol. Its freezing temperature and osmotic pressure are also similar to those of sucrose. Therefore, it can be widely used as a substitute for sucrose in sugar-free fillings and sugar-free foods.
