Maltitol is a reduced calorie buk sweetner with sugar-like taste and sweetness. Its stability, high sweetness, and structure make it suitable for a variety of reduced-calorie, reduced-fat, low carbohydrate and sugar-free foods. Maltitol, and other similar sweeteners like sorbitol, isomalt, xylitol, and erythritol do not promote tooth decay.
