Maltitol Syrup
Maltitol Syrup is a hydrogenated glucose syrup composed primarily of maltitol with sorbitol and higher hydrogenated saccharides, sold as a clear viscous non-crystallising liquid for sugar-free confectionery, chewing gum, and bakery applications.
A typical specification covers 50 to 75 percent maltitol on a dry basis with the balance as sorbitol, maltotriitol, and higher polyols. The product carries CAS 585-88-6 for its principal maltitol component and total solids of about 75 percent.
We source bulk Maltitol Syrup from top China manufacturers for our partners. The manufacturer is in Shandong. For this ingredient the minimum order is 500 kg and a 20-foot container takes 20 MT, and a smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
Maltitol Syrup is graded in three composition tiers.
High-maltitol syrup at 70 to 75 percent maltitol on dry basis is the standard grade for sugar-free chewing gum, chocolate, and reduced-calorie baked goods.
Intermediate-maltitol syrup at 50 to 60 percent maltitol on dry basis offers a more economical bulk sweetener with strong anti-crystallisation properties, well suited to soft caramels, fondants, and bakery fillings.
Low-maltitol or maltitol-sorbitol syrup at 30 to 50 percent maltitol on dry basis is used as a humectant and texture modifier in dietetic spreads, jellies, and dairy desserts.
All grades meet FCC and JECFA specifications for hydrogenated starch hydrolysates. Pharmaceutical grades comply with USP-NF and Ph. Eur. monographs for maltitol solution.
Applications
- Sugar-free chewing-gum centres as the principal bulk sweetener and plasticizer
- Sugar-free soft caramels, toffees, and fudges where anti-crystallisation is critical
- Reduced-calorie cookies, cakes, and muffins as a humectant and bulk sweetener
- Sugar-free jellies, gummies, and pastilles
- Sugar-free spreads, jams, and fruit fillings
- Pharmaceutical syrups, oral solutions, and pediatric vehicles
- Ice cream and frozen dessert formulations for freezing-point control
- Sugar-free dairy desserts, mousses, and puddings
- Chocolate fillings and ganache centres
- Glazes, sauces, and dessert toppings with reduced sugar
- Sugar-free dressings and savory sauces requiring a low-glycemic sweet body

How We Help Source Maltitol Syrup
Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Maltitol Syrup out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Maltitol Syrup together with other ingredients such as Stevia, Erythritol and Maltitol into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.
Regulatory Status
Maltitol Syrup carries broad regulatory approval as a food additive.
In the European Union it is identified as E965(ii), the syrup form of E965 maltitol. EU labelling requires the statement excessive consumption may produce laxative effects when a serving delivers more than 10 grams of polyol.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration treats maltitol syrup as GRAS for use as a nutritive sweetener, bulking agent, and humectant. The substance is also covered by the broader hydrogenated starch hydrolysate GRAS framework.
JECFA has evaluated maltitol syrup as safe for food use and assigned no numerical specification limit. The agency has accepted a typical labelling caloric value of 3.0 kcal per gram, reflecting the contribution of sorbitol and the hydrogenated oligomer fraction.
The substance is Halal and Kosher certifiable and is not a recognised food allergen.
Manufacturing Process
Maltitol Syrup is produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of a high-maltose glucose syrup.
The starting material is a refined glucose syrup processed from starch (corn, wheat, or tapioca) using alpha-amylase liquefaction followed by saccharification with beta-amylase, pullulanase, and other debranching enzymes. The saccharide profile is tuned to deliver the target maltose-to-higher-saccharide ratio for the finished syrup grade.
The maltose-rich syrup is hydrogenated under hydrogen pressure of 40 to 150 bar at 100 to 140 degrees Celsius over a Raney nickel or supported nickel catalyst. All reducing ends are converted to polyol groups, converting glucose to sorbitol, maltose to maltitol, maltotriose to maltotriitol, and so on through the higher oligomers.
The hydrogenated solution is filtered to remove residual nickel, demineralized through ion-exchange resins, and decolorised on activated carbon. Vacuum evaporation concentrates the syrup to about 75 percent total solids, the standard supply specification.
Because the product is a deliberate blend of polyols, no crystallisation step is applied. The mixed composition is the property that prevents recrystallisation in finished goods and is the functional reason the syrup form is selected.
