Applications

Confectionery - Chewing gum

  • In a solid phase polyol powders are used: C☆Sorbidex® for its cooling effect and humidity control, C☆Mannidex® to improve mechanical strength and Maltidex® to improve taste and extend flexibility and shelf life.

  • In a liquid phase, polyol syrups are used: C☆Sorbidex® syrup is a cost-effective solution and also improves elasticity. Maltidex® syrup adds viscosity, offers crystallization control and improves flexibility, elasticity and shelf life.

  • In coatings, C☆Sorbidex® syrup is the most often used as it is a cost-effective solution, IsoMaltidex™ is low in hygroscopicity and increases stability, while Maltidex® increases crunchiness.

  • For dusting purposes, C☆Mannidex® is commonly used as it reduces stickiness thanks to its low hygroscopicity.

Confectionery - Sugar-free

  • IsoMaltidex™ ensures no stickiness of candy thanks to its low hygroscopicity.
  • Maltidex® syrup delivers a better flavor release and creates a higher relative sweetness. It allows for better processability thanks to its higher viscosity.
  • C☆Sorbidex® syrup is a cost-effective solution for sweetness and bulk.

Bakery

In cakes & soft cookies, polyols extend shelf life and offer humidity control (C☆Sorbidex®) and ensure sweetness without browning (Maltidex®).

In crispy biscuits & cereal bars, sweetness and crunchiness is best delivered via IsoMaltidex™ powder or Maltidex®.
