==Chemical properties== ==Chemical properties==
Maltitol in its crystallized form measures the same (bulk) as table sugar and ] and caramelizes in a manner very similar to that of sucrose after liquifying by exposure to intense heat. The crystallized form is readily dissolved in warm liquids (120F/48.9C and above); the powdered form is preferred if room temperature or cold liquids are used. Due to its sucrose-like structure, maltitol is easy to produce and made commercially available in crystallized, powdered, and syrup forms.

Due to its sucrose-like structure, maltitol is easy to produce and made commercially available in crystallized, powdered, and syrup forms.


It is not metabolized by oral bacteria, so it does not promote ]. It is somewhat more slowly absorbed than sucrose, which makes it somewhat more suitable for people with ] than ].

Not unlike other sugar alcohols (with the exception of ]), maltitol (when consumed in large quantities or at a particularly high concentration) can have a ] effect.<ref>http://www.turkeymonkey.com/2004/07/22/maltitol-a-sweetener-and-a-laxative-in-one/</ref>


==Government warnings== ==See also==

In countries such as Australia, Canada, Norway, and New Zealand, maltitol carries a mandatory warning such as "Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect." In the United States, it is a ] (GRAS) substance, with a recommendation of a warning about its laxative potential when consumed at levels above 100 grams per day.
