Searching for a sweet, low calorie, alternative to sugar? Look no further, Gillco is now carrying Danisco’s Dulcaden™ Maltitol Syrup!
Maltitol is a type of sugar alcohol, (it does not actually contain alcohol) which is a reduced-calorie sweetener and common substitute for regular sugar. There are many benefits to adding maltitol to your frozen desserts, confections, snack foods and baked goods.
Dulcaden™ Maltitol Syrup enables you to claim:
- - Reduced calorie
- - Sugar-free
- - Reduced glycemic load
- - No sugar added
- - Suitable for diabetics
According to the American Diabetes Association, maltitol can be a great low calorie option.
Even though sugar alcohols are made from different types of sugar and starch, they usually have about half the calories. So, they may be helpful in weight management if someone is trying to cut down on calories. They also have a much smaller effect on blood glucose levels so they may help with diabetes management when they replace sugar or starch. (www.diabetes.org)
