maltitol
Maltitol is a sugar alcohol, or polyol. Small amounts of maltitol occur naturally in chicory leaves and in roasted malt. Commercially, maltitol is produced from the starch of cereals such as corn, potatoes and wheat. Manufacturers use the catalytic hydrogenation of D-maltose to make a hydrogenated disaccharide consisting of a glucose molecule and a sorbitol molecule bound together. Maltitol is used as a low-calorie sweetener, humectant, thickening agent and texturizer in candies, chocolates, baked goods, ice creams, chewing gums and pan-coated tablets. In the European Union maltitol is labeled as E number E965. — NCATS
