Maltitol Liquid

Maltitol, also known as hydrogenated maltose, chemical name 1,4-o-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol, is a disaccharide composed of 1 molecule of glucose linked to a sorbitol by α-1,4-bonds. The molecular formula is C12H24O11 and the relative molecular mass is 344.31. Maltitol is a colorless transparent crystal, soluble in water, insoluble in methanol and ethanol. 

Maltitol is a new type of sweetener that is widely used in the processing of sugar-flavored foods. In the past, the sweeteners consumed by people were basically high-calorie, high-sweetness sugars, which were prone to cause diseases such as diabetes, obesity, arteriosclerosis and heart weakness. Maltitol has high sweetness, low calorie, good safety, sufficient raw materials, simple manufacturing process, and unique properties that other sweeteners do not have.

Non-corrosive: Maltitol is not an acid-producing substrate and almost completely does not lead to the synthesis of insoluble glycans by bacteria, so maltitol is a non-corrosive new sugar that is extremely difficult to form caries. 

Promote calcium absorption: Animal experiments have shown that maltitol has the effect of promoting intestinal calcium absorption and increasing the amount and improving bone strength. 

Does not stimulate the secretion of insulin: maltitol is difficult to digest and absorb, and the blood sugar level rises less, so it has no stimulating effect on the secretion of insulin, which is necessary for glucose metabolism, so as to reduce the secretion of insulin. It can be seen that maltitol can be used as a sweetener for diabetics. 

Inhibits excessive accumulation of body fat: If high fat and granulated sugar are consumed at the same time, the activity of lipoproteinase enzyme increases due to the stimulation of insulin secretion, so it is easy to increase the accumulation of body fat. If maltitol is used instead of granulated sugar to make high-fat foods such as ice cream, cakes, and chocolate, it is expected to reduce excessive accumulation of body fat because it does not stimulate insulin secretion. 

Indigestibility: Maltitol is almost completely unable to be decomposed by saliva, gastric juice, small intestinal membrane enzymes, etc. in the human body, and the rest cannot be digested and excreted except for a part of the bacteria in the intestine. 

About 10% of the maltitol ingested into the body is used as energy after being broken down and absorbed in the small intestine, the remaining 90% is broken down into short-chain fatty acids by bacteria in the large intestine, and the remaining part is absorbed by the large intestine and used as energy. Therefore, the caloric value of maltitol can be calculated to be about 2Kal/g by adding the absorption of maltitol in the small intestine to the absorption of short-chain fatty acids in the large intestine.
