Maltidex® Maltitol

Maltidex® Maltitol

A high-quality sugar alternative 

Maltidex® maltitol – a polyol derived from the hydrogenation of sugars - from corn or wheat starch – offers an easy one-to-one sucrose or full-calorie sweetener substitution while reducing calories.

It has a clean, pleasant taste and offers good humidity and moisture control, which stabilizes products, and improves texture and mouthfeel.

Sugar Reduction
Maltidex® has an energy value of 2.4 kcal/g, compared to full-calorie sweeteners’ 4 kcal/g.

Higher Relative Sweetness
Maltidex® powder offers similar sweetness to sucrose. It has a natural, sweet taste and boost fruity flavors, and reduces the need for high-intensity sweeteners. 

Tooth Friendly
Maltidex® is non-cariogenic and does not contribute to tooth decay.

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.


EU Labelling & Legislation

We recommend including maltitol (E965i) and maltitol syrup (E965ii) in the ingredient declaration on the labels of finished products.

Our Offer

Cargill offers an extensive range of high-quality polyols for food, pharma and feed applications. Our offer consists of different formats and particle sizes.
