|---|---|
| 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.
