Lactitol is a 12-carbon sugar alcohol that can be obtained by hydrogenation of lactose through a catalyst. It is available in anhydrous form and in two products containing a combined water. It has a sweet and refreshing taste, and is often used in combination with high sweetness sweeteners. It has no aftertaste, low moisture absorption, and high solubility. Its relative molecular weight is similar to sucrose, and its impact on water activity is similar to sucrose. It is stable under acidic and alkaline conditions, and is also very stable under high temperature conditions in food processing. Lactitol is suitable for many foods, such as baked goods, sugar coated candy, and frozen lactose containing desserts
Function&Application:
Lactitol is a sugar alcohol used as a replacement bulk sweetener for low calorie foods with approximately 40% of the sweetness of sugar. It is also used medically as a laxative.
Lactitol is used in a variety of low food energy or low fat foods. High stability makes it popular for baking. It is used in sugar-free candies, cookies (biscuits), chocolate, and ice cream.
