CPharmMaltidex maltitol

Maltitol and maltitol syrups are produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of liquid glucose that contains a high proportion of the disaccharide maltose.

Maltitol syrups are well suited for the production of cough syrups and suspensions where their clean sweet taste and non-cariogenicity are particularly useful. Maltitol syrups are extremely stable against crystallization.
