Technical Details & Test Data

Production Process

Although maltitol occurs in trace amounts in nature, their extraction is not a viable production method. Maltitol is obtained by the hydrogenation of sugars - from corn or wheat starch.

In addition to maltitol powder, Cargill offers a range of tailor-made syrups with varying maltitol content to suit the desired application. High-purity syrups offer high sweetness and lower viscosity, while lower-purity syrups offer lower sweetness and higher viscosity. As with all Cargill ingredients, the reliable quality and supply of Maltidex™ Maltitol is assured by Cargill’s extensive supply chain.
