Unmatched Physical & Chemical Properties
Mild Sweetness: Clean, mild taste profile with approximately 40–50% of the sweetness of sucrose—ideal for sugar reduction.
High Stability: Excellent heat and acid resistance, stable at pH as low as 3.0 and temperatures up to 120°C.
Optimal Viscosity: Higher viscosity than sucrose enhances mouthfeel and product structure without complicating processing.
Superior Moisture Retention: Acts as an effective humectant—extends shelf life by reducing staling and preventing sugar crystallization.
Controlled Browning: Contributes to Maillard browning in a controllable manner, allowing for desired color development in baked goods.
Low Water Activity: Aw of 0.75 at 75% concentration—similar to sucrose—suppressing microbial growth.
Freezing Point Depression: Higher than fructose, enabling faster freezing and improved production efficiency for frozen products.
Fermentation Resistance: Not easily fermented by most yeasts and lactic acid bacteria, ensuring prebiotic potency in fermented applications.
