Lactitol

SNC00323
Lactitol is a sugar alcohol derived from lactose, a disaccharide found in milk. Chemically, it is a white crystalline powder with a sweet taste, although its sweetness is relatively mild compared to sucrose. Lactitol is highly soluble in water, which makes it suitable for various applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. It is chemically stable under normal conditions and does not readily undergo hydrolysis or oxidation, ensuring its long shelf life.
One of the primary functions of lactitol is its use as a low-calorie sweetener. It provides sweetness to food and beverage products without adding a significant amount of calories. This makes it an attractive alternative for individuals who are watching their calorie intake, such as those on a weight loss diet or those with diabetes.

Product Details

 

Lactitol is a sugar alcohol, also known as a polyol, that is used as a low-calorie sweetener and a sugar substitute. Lactitol is derived from lactose, a sugar found in milk, and is known for its ability to provide sweetness without contributing to tooth decay and with a minimal impact on blood sugar levels.

Biological Functions and Health Benefits:

1.Low-Calorie Sweetener: Lactitol provides fewer calories than sucrose, making it a popular choice for low-calorie or diet products. Lactitol contains about 2.4 calories per gram, compared to 4 calories per gram for sucrose.

2.Glycemic Response: Due to its slow absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, Lactitol has a minimal impact on blood sugar levels, making it suitable for individuals with diabetes or those monitoring their carbohydrate intake.

3.Digestibility: Lactitol is not fully absorbed in the small intestine, which means it passes into the large intestine where it can be fermented by the gut microbiota, contributing to a healthier gut environment.

4.Oral Health: As a sugar substitute, Lactitol does not promote tooth decay due to its low fermentability by oral bacteria, which is in contrast to sucrose and other fermentable carbohydrates.

Applications in the Food Industry:

1.Sugar Replacement: Lactitol is used in a variety of food products as a sugar replacement, including candies, chocolates, and baked goods, to reduce the calorie content and glycemic impact.

2.Frozen Desserts: Lactitol is used in the production of ice cream and other frozen desserts to provide a sweet taste without the crystallization issues associated with sucrose.

3.Pharmaceuticals: Lactitol is used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly in oral drug delivery systems, due to its non-cariogenic and low-calorie properties.

4. Functional Nutritional Supplements: Incorporated into probiotic powders, chewable vitamins and weight-management meal replacement products to deliver mild sweetness while supporting balanced intestinal flora fermentation.
