Sensory Qualities

It's just like sugar

A comparison of the organoleptic properties of MALTISORB® maltitol and sugar demonstrates the very close similarity in taste, aftertaste and mouthfeel of these two ingredients.

It explains why the tasting quality of the product containing MALTISORB® matches its classic counterpart perfectly.


Sweetness

MALTISORB® maltitol is characterized by a natural sweetness close to that of sugar ( 90%).

Flavor, aftertaste and mouthfeel

A study conducted by the Leatherhead Food Research Association, UK, shows the very close similarity in taste, aftertaste and mouthfeel of MALTISORB® maltitol and sugar.

Synergy with intense sweeteners

MALTISORB® maltitol is a bulk sweetener which can be used alone in most sugar-free applications thanks to a high sweetening power close to that of sugar.

When increased sweetness is desired, MALTISORB® maltitol also offers good synergy with intense sweeteners and requires a smaller dosage than polyols that are less sweet.

Cooling effect

MALTISORB® maltitol has a low cooling effect compared with other polyols, but slightly higher than that of sugar.
