A great low calorie, low glycemic sugar substitute. Maltitol Powder is a fine, white powder derived from corn that is 90% as sweet as sugar, with an excellent natural flavour and no chemical aftertaste. It's used in diabetic products and does not contribute to tooth decay. Unlike sucrose, it will not brown or caramelise when heated. Manufacturers use it to sweeten sugar-free hard candy, chewing gum, chocolates, baked goods, and ice cream.
