Título: | Maltitol: Analytical Determination Methods, Applications in the Food Industry, Metabolism and Health Impacts | Autor: | Saraiva, Ariana Carrascosa, Conrado Raheem, Dele Ramos, Fernando Raposo, António |
Palavras-chave: | food additives; food industry; food safety; health impacts; maltitol; metabolism; sweeteners | Data: | 20-Jul-2020 | Editora: | MDPI | Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health | Volume: | 17 | Número: | 14 | Resumo: | Bulk sweetener maltitol belongs to the polyols family and there have been several dietary applications in the past few years, during which the food industry has used it in many food products: bakery and dairy products, chocolate, sweets. This review paper addresses and discusses in detail the most relevant aspects concerning the analytical methods employed to determine maltitol's food safety and industry applications, its metabolism and its impacts on human health. According to our main research outcome, we can assume that maltitol at lower doses poses little risk to humans and is a good alternative to using sucrose. However, it causes diarrhoea and foetus complications at high doses. Regarding its determination, high-performance liquid chromatography proved the primary method in various food matrices. The future role of maltitol in the food industry is likely to become more relevant as processors seek alternative sweeteners in product formulation without compromising health. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/106167 | ISSN: | 1660-4601 | DOI: | 10.3390/ijerph17145227 | Direitos: | openAccess |
