Abstract
A crystallized maltitol powder including a maltitol content greater than 99.5% by weight, characterized by a particle-size distribution by volume, determined by laser granulometry, having less than 20% particles less than 200 μm in size, less than 6% particles less than 100 μm in size, less than 2% particles less than 40 μm in size and a pour value less than or equal to 10 seconds, an aerated density greater than 0.85 g/ml, a compacted density greater than 0.97 g/ml, and a compressibility of less than 17%, and to its use in the pharmaceuticals and above all foods sectors, in particular in the formulation of chocolates or table sweeteners.
