E966 – Lactitol

Description

Lactitol is a disaccharide alcohol (polyol) derived from the catalytic hydrogenation of lactulose, itself synthesized from lactose (milk sugar). It functions primarily as a low-calorie bulk sweetener (approximately 2.0 kcal/g), non-cariogenic agent, humectant, and texturizer, with a relative sweetness of 30-40% of sucrose.
