What is Organic Maltitol Powder?
Organic Maltitol Powder is a natural, plant-based sweetener derived from organic corn or wheat starch. Maltitol is a sugar alcohol that provides sweetness similar to table sugar but with fewer calories, making it a popular choice for low-calorie, sugar-free, and diabetic-friendly products. With its clean, neutral taste and excellent functional properties, Organic Maltitol Powder is ideal for use in a wide range of food, beverage, and nutraceutical applications. Certified organic by both USDA and EU, this product is free from GMOs, pesticides, and harmful chemicals, ensuring a high-quality, clean-label ingredient for your formulations.
Production Process:
Organic Maltitol Powder is produced through the enzymatic conversion of organic starch (usually from corn or wheat) into maltose, which is then hydrogenated to produce maltitol. The process begins with the extraction of starch from certified organic sources, which is then hydrolyzed into maltose. Afterward, the maltose undergoes hydrogenation to form maltitol. The resulting maltitol solution is evaporated, crystallized, and dried to produce the final powder product. Throughout this process, all steps are carefully monitored to ensure that the final product meets organic standards, with no chemical additives, preservatives, or artificial sweeteners.
