Sensory qualities

Outstandingly stable crunchiness

• MALTISORB^® maltitol guarantees outstanding crunchiness from the first bite, thanks to its solubility and crystalline form.
• Its very low hygroscopicity assures crunchiness over time whatever the packaging and climate conditions.
• Crunchiness also depends on water activity in the centers. Roquette has developed well-balanced center recipes for increased shelf life.
• As against those made with other polyols, maltitol-based centers do not require more gum base than those using sugar. This ensures significant cost savings, especially when expensive flavorings are involved.

Flavor impact & sweetness

• Of all the polyols, MALTISORB^® maltitol has the solubility curve closest to that of sugar, a key to flavor release and sweetness profile enhancement.
• MALTISORB^® maltitol offers good synergy with intense sweeteners such as sucralose, requiring a smaller dosage than polyols that are not as sweet.

Technical properties

Perfect finish, color and gloss

• MALTISORB^® maltitol guarantees a very shiny appearance thanks to a perfectly smooth surface.
• MALTISORB^® makes it easy to smooth the surface during coating and still obtain a very good product, even in the case of an uneven surface or of poor start-up in the panning operation.

Timesaving
Timesaving is an important goal for the coating operation. To help optimize process performance, Roquette has developed a technique which makes it possible to pan within less than 3 hours compared to 4 hours for other polyols.

 

 

Nutritional Benefits

	Potential label claims
	'Does not promote tooth decay' - 'safe for teeth' - 'sugar-free'

• Sugar-free, MALTISORB^® maltitol-based coated confectionery promotes good dental health.
• Like xylitol, maltitol is able to prevent the multiplication of the oral bacteria involved in the cavities development process.
• Chewing maltitol-based sugar-free gum stimulates the mouth's natural anti-bacterial defences, helping to prevent tooth decay.

Oral health

• MALTISORB^® maltitol helps reduce the growth of certain oral bacteria responsible for diseases such as meningitis or ear infection.
