True Sweetness Without Sugar – Maltitol & Oligosaccharides

Maltitol – The 1:1 Sugar Replacer

Derived from non-GMO corn or tapioca starch, maltitol provides 90% of sugar’s sweetness with a clean, sugar-like profile – no bitterness or cooling effect. Unlike other sugar alcohols, it offers:

  • Same bulk density as sugar – easy drop-in replacement

  • No crystallization issues in chocolate or confectionery

  • Low glycemic impact (GI = 35) for diabetic-friendly products

Use in sugar-free cookies, cakes, chocolate bars, chewing gum, and oral care products.

Oligosaccharides (FOS, GOS, XOS, IMO) – Gentle Sweetness with Prebiotic Power

These short-chain fibers provide 30–60% the sweetness of sugar with a smooth, rounded taste. They work synergistically with high-intensity sweeteners to mask off-notes (bitterness, licorice aftertaste). Additionally, they add fermentable fiber – turning a sugar-reduced product into a gut-health functional food.
