In today's health-conscious market, the demand for low-calorie food options continues to grow. Formulators are constantly searching for ingredients that can reduce calorie content without compromising on taste, texture, or functionality. Lactitol (CAS 585-86-4), a sugar alcohol, stands out as a versatile and effective ingredient for achieving these goals.

Understanding Lactitol's Calorie Advantage

Lactitol is a disaccharide polyol derived from lactose. Unlike sucrose, which provides approximately 4 calories per gram, Lactitol yields only about 2 calories per gram. This significant reduction in caloric density makes it an attractive option for manufacturers aiming to create lighter, healthier products. Furthermore, Lactitol has a low glycemic index and does not significantly impact blood glucose or insulin levels, making it suitable for individuals managing their sugar intake.

Functional Benefits for Low-Calorie Products

Beyond its caloric benefits, Lactitol offers several functional advantages that are critical for successful product development:

  • Bulking Agent: Lactitol provides the necessary bulk and mouthfeel that are often lost when sugar is reduced or removed. This helps maintain the desired texture and sensory experience in products like sugar-free candies, baked goods, and dairy desserts.
  • Mild Sweetness: With a sweetness intensity about 30-40% of sucrose, Lactitol offers a clean, sugar-like taste without the bitter aftertaste sometimes associated with high-intensity sweeteners. This mild sweetness allows other flavors in the product to be perceived clearly.
  • Stability: Lactitol is remarkably stable across a wide range of pH levels and temperatures, making it compatible with various food processing techniques, including baking, pasteurization, and UHT treatment.
  • Low Hygroscopicity: This property helps maintain the crispness of products like cookies and extends the shelf-life by preventing moisture absorption.
