Physical Description	White crystalline powder
Color/Form	White powder
Odor	Neutral
Taste	Sweet
Melting Point	148 to 151 °C
Solubility	Very soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol
Stability/Shelf Life	Maltitol has good thermal and chemical stability.
Optical Rotation	[α]D/20 + 105,5° to + 108,5° (5 % w/v solution)
Decomposition	When /maltitol/ is heated at temperatures above 200 °C, decomposition begins (depending on time, temperature, adn other prevailing conditions). Maltitol does not undergo browning reactions with amino acids, and absorbs atmospheric moisture only at relative humidities of 89% and above, at 20 °C.
Other Experimental Properties	Water content: 2% (max); weakly hygroscopic in the solid state

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

description

Maltitol is an alpha-D-glucoside consisting of D-glucitol having an alpha-D-glucosyl residue attached at the 4-position. Used as a sugar substitute. It has a role as a metabolite, a laxative and a sweetening agent. It is an alpha-D-glucoside and a glycosyl alditol. It is functionally related to an alpha-D-glucose and a D-glucitol.
