Sensory properties

Sweetness and colour

• 90% as sweet as sugar, MALTISORB^® maltitol retains the sweet taste of the original end-product.
• MALTISORB^® maltitol tastes clean. Partial or total replacement of sugar with maltitol does not alter the flavor of baked products.
• MALTISORB^® maltitol does not brown or caramelize like sugars (Maillard reaction). This reduces the problem of excessive darkening encountered with fructose.

Technical properties

Ease of processing

• MALTISORB^® maltitol has the same molecular weight as sugar. A weight-for-weight substitution is therefore straightforward and immediate in most recipes.
• Manufacturing techniques remain the same, with end-product characteristics similar to those of traditional ones: 
  
  

	MALTISORB®	Sucrose	Major valuable effects
Molecular weight (g/mol)	344	342	- Weight-for-weight substitution - Equivalent crystallization resulting in similar crunchiness for cookies
Solubility at 20°C (D.S.) (g/100g solution)	60%	67%	Same dough processing involving
Viscosity (50% solution in water at 20°C) (mPa.S)	23	18	- Similar volume - Similar smooth texture
ERH* at 20° C (%)	89	84	- Excellent powder flowability - Good stability of the end product
* Equilibrium Relative Humidity

In the case of bread and Viennese bread products, slight process or recipe modifications may be needed to obtain a standard prove time.

Particle size
Three particle sizes to cover all types of bakery :

MALTISORB®	P35	Filling
MALTISORB®	P90	Filling / Baking / Viennese bread / Cookies
MALTISORB®	P200	Cookies / Cakes

Nutritional benefits

No sugars added
Containing less than 0.5% mono- and disaccharides, MALTISORB^® maltitol is the ideal sugar-free ingredient for developing no-sugars-added, reduced-sugars content or low-carb products.

Caloric reduction
MALTISORB^® maltitol supports recipe reformulation aimed at reducing the caloric value of baked goods.

Progressive energy delivery to combat snacking
MALTISORB^® maltitol helps regulate the glycemic response. Delivering glucose (energy) more slowly and more progressively than sugar-based products, maltitol-containing foodstuffs have a positive impact on hunger reduction for a longer time, and can therefore be recommended for combating snacking between meals.
