About This Product
Louis Francois Maltitol Powder is a versatile sweetener and sugar substitute that brings a mild, cool sweetness without the calories of regular sugar. Made from the hydrogenation of D-maltose, this crystalline, white powder is ideal for creating low-calorie, sugar-free, or reduced-sugar products. Known for its easy incorporation, Maltitol can be used in both hot and cold preparations without altering the recipe structure. It can replace sugar at a 1:1 ratio, making recipe adjustments straightforward. Compared to similar products, it blends more seamlessly, offering a smoother texture and consistent sweetness.
Maltitol is particularly well-suited for applications where a sugar-like sweetness and mouthfeel are needed, but without the caloric impact. Unlike some alternatives, it does not crystallize excessively, making it great for smooth, creamy desserts and confections.
