CAS 585-88-6: Maltitol
Description:Maltitol, with the CAS number 585-88-6, is a sugar alcohol (polyol) commonly used as a sugar substitute in various food products. It is derived from maltose and is characterized by its sweet taste, which is approximately 75-90% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar). Maltitol has a molecular formula of C12H24O11 and a molecular weight of about 344.31 g/mol. It is a white, crystalline powder that is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. Maltitol is known for its low caloric content compared to regular sugars, making it popular in sugar-free and reduced-calorie products. It is also non-cariogenic, meaning it does not contribute to tooth decay. However, excessive consumption can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, as it is not fully absorbed in the digestive system. Maltitol is soluble in water, making it suitable for various applications, including candies, baked goods, and beverages. Its stability under heat and acidic conditions further enhances its utility in food formulations.
