About The Lactitol monohydrate

Physical and chemical properties

Sweetness: The sweetness is about 30%-40% of sucrose, with a mild taste and no aftertaste.

Calorie: The calorie is about half of sucrose, specifically 8.4kJ/g or 8.36kJ/g, and it is a low-calorie sweetener.

Solubility: It is very 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 those of sucrose, and its solubility at low temperature is lower than that of sucrose.

Stability: It has strong stability and can maintain its stability under acid, alkali, light and high temperature conditions. There is no free hydroxyl group in the molecular structure. It is a non-reducing sugar alcohol and cannot undergo Maillard reaction and enzyme degradation reaction.

Preparation method: Lactose is made from skim milk, then filtered after pressurized hydrogenation (100℃, 30%-40% lactose liquid, 4MPa) under nickel catalysis, and then concentrated and crystallized after refining with ion exchange resin and activated carbon. It can also be obtained by fermenting pasteurized milk.

Physiological functions and effects

Low calories: helps to reduce calorie intake, control weight and prevent obesity.

Does not affect blood sugar and insulin: It is not easily absorbed in the human body and has little effect on blood sugar and insulin levels. It is suitable for diabetic patients and people who need to control blood sugar.

Anti-caries: It is not easily metabolized by bacteria in the mouth to produce acidic substances, which is beneficial to oral health and reduces the occurrence of caries.

Prebiotic effect: It is easily fermented and decomposed by microorganisms in the large intestine, especially probiotics such as bifidobacteria can better utilize lactitol fermentation and proliferation.

Application field

Food industry: It can be used as a sweetener for sugar-free foods, an additive for functional foods, and a raw material for baked foods. It can also be used alone or mixed with other sweeteners to replace sucrose to prepare low-calorie foods.

Medical field: It can be used as an excipient or carrier for certain drugs, for example, in the preparation of sugar-free tablets, capsules and other pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Other fields: It is also used in cosmetics such as toothpaste, cigarettes, lipstick, etc. It can also be used as a quality improver in livestock feed to improve the animal’s preference and promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria in animals.
