Lactitol, a disaccharide polyol, represents a sophisticated approach to sweetness that harmonizes taste with health benefits. Derived from lactose, its unique chemical structure dictates its functional properties, making it a valuable asset in food science and pharmaceutical development. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to providing manufacturers with premium Lactitol, grounded in scientific understanding and rigorous quality control.

Chemically, Lactitol is produced by the hydrogenation of lactose. This process modifies the sugar molecule, rendering it resistant to digestion in the small intestine and subsequently altering its metabolic fate. The result is a molecule with a mild, sugar-like sweetness and a significantly lower caloric value compared to sucrose. Its stability under various conditions – including heat, acid, and alkali – makes it highly adaptable for food processing, from baking to creating shelf-stable confectionery.

The scientific community recognizes Lactitol for its favorable physiological effects. Its low glycemic index means it does not cause rapid spikes in blood sugar or insulin levels, a critical factor for individuals with diabetes. Moreover, its role as a prebiotic, supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, is a testament to its complex interaction with the body's systems. This prebiotic action contributes to digestive health, a growing area of interest for consumers seeking functional foods.

In the pharmaceutical realm, Lactitol’s properties as a non-hygroscopic, stable compound make it an excellent excipient. It can serve as a filler or binder in tablets, or as a laxative, leveraging its osmotic properties. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that the Lactitol we supply adheres to the strict purity and safety requirements of both food and pharmaceutical industries. By understanding the underlying science of Lactitol, manufacturers can unlock its full potential to create innovative, health-conscious products that meet evolving market demands.
