Audited Supplier High Quality Food Sweetener Lactitol
Lactitol is 12 carbon sugar alcohol, which can be prepared from lactose through catalytic hydrogenation. It has two products, anhydrous type and one bound water. It is sweet and refreshing, and is often used in combination with high sweetness sweeteners. It has no aftertaste, low hygroscopicity, high solubility, and its relative molecular weight is similar to sucrose. Its effect on water activity is also similar to sucrose. It is stable under acidic and alkaline conditions, and also very stable under high temperature conditions in food processing. Lactitol is suitable for many foods, such as baked foods, sugar coated candies and frozen sweet foods containing milk.
Appearance: lactitol is white crystal or crystalline powder, or colorless liquid. Odorless and sweet in taste, with a sweetness of 30% to 40% of sucrose and a calorie content of about half of sucrose (8 4kJ/g).
Structure: the chemical essence of lactitol is 4-O- β- D-galactopyrano-D-sorbitol, its molecular formula is C12H24O11, and its molecular weight is 344.32. Crystallized lactitol mainly has two forms: lactitol dihydrate and lactitol monohydrate, and another lactitol commodity is lactitol solution containing 54% of lactitol.
Melting point: 146 ºC for lactitol anhydrous, 94~97 ºC for monohydrate, 70~80 ºC for dihydrate. Hydrates gradually lose moisture when heated above 100 ºC, and intramolecular dehydration occurs above 250 ºC to form lactocaramel.
Solubility: lactitol is extremely soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol. The pH of 10% lactitol aqueous solution is 4.5~8.5. The solubility and viscosity of lactitol at room temperature are similar to that of sucrose, but its solubility at low temperature is lower than that of sucrose. In addition, when lactitol is dissolved, it not only does not emit heat, but also absorbs heat.
Stability: lactitol has strong stability, and can still maintain its stability under acid, alkali, light and high temperature conditions. In addition, there is no free hydroxyl in the molecular structure of lactitol, which is a non reducing sugar alcohol and cannot undergo Maillard reaction and enzyme degradation reaction. In this way, lactitol is added to the foods that need high temperature treatment or acidic or alkaline food, which can avoid and reduce food deterioration and better maintain the original color, aroma and taste of the food.

Low calorie --- lactitol has low calorie, which is because its metabolic pathway is different from sucrose (lactitol cannot be digested and absorbed in the small intestine, but it is fermented and utilized by microorganisms in the large intestine and decomposed into short chain fatty acids and other fermentation products, which releases only 50% of the pure calories of ordinary sugars. In this way, lactitol can be used alone or mixed with other sweeteners to replace sucrose low calorie health food.
Preventing obesity --- The intake of high fat foods and sucrose can increase the activity of nuclear in adipose tissue, thereby promoting the accumulation of neutral fat in cells. Lactitol intake will not increase the activity of nucleoprotein lipase, so it will not promote the accumulation of neutral fat in the body when ingested with high-fat foods. Therefore, from the perspective of prevention, it is beneficial to replace sucrose with low calorie lactitol in foods with high fat and sucrose.
Prevention of dental caries --- lactitol has a strong function in preventing dental caries. Compared with sucrose, lactitol hardly caused dental plaque formation. Clinical experiments have confirmed that lactitol will not be fermented by microorganisms in the mouth to produce acid, and this kind of acid can destroy the enamel of teeth through deionization, resulting in caries. Therefore, lactitol can be used to make health food against caries, such as chewing gum, chocolate, various sweets, etc.
Bifid proliferation factor --- lactitol is stable in the mouth, stomach and small intestine, and will not be digested and absorbed basically. When entering the large intestine, it is susceptible to microbial fermentation and decomposition. Among them, Bifidobacterium is particularly prominent and can proliferate up to 10-100 times its original size. Such substances as lactitol that can make bifidobacteria proliferate greatly are called bifidogenic proliferation factors in medicine. Bifidobacterium is a normal bacterium in the human digestive tract that is very beneficial to the body. It adheres to the intestinal wall in a certain population with other bacteria in the body, forming a stable microecological balance, serving as a biological barrier, providing nutrition, and improving immunity.
Application: Sweetener; Emulsifier; Stabilizer; Thickening agent--- The application of lactitol, to a large extent, lies in replacing sucrose. The product with this sweetener can be used as a low heat energy, sugar free and caries free product, and is suitable for diabetes patients.
Lactitol can be used in the production of various sweets, such as chocolate, hard candy, caramel, soft candy and chewing gum, as well as ice cream and baked goods. All these products show the versatility as a mass sweetener of lactitol.
In the production of chewing gum, lactitol can replace sorbitol to avoid moisture absorption during production and storage. This means that cheaper packaging materials can be used, which also has a positive impact on the environment. In hard candy and soft candy, the mixture of lactitol and maltose syrup is similar to traditional candy products in processing and quality of the final product.
In addition, lactitol can be used as a quality improver in livestock feed to improve the appetite of animals, and can also promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria in animals. It can be used as an excipient in medicine and is also used in cosmetics such as toothpaste, cigarettes, and lipstick. With the diversification of food and the continuous improvement of the comprehensive quality of color, aroma and taste, lactitol, as a new functional sweetener, has been increasingly valued and developed.
