General description

Maltotriitol is a sugar.

Application

The presence of maltotriitol (C(18)H(34)O(16)) in maltose syrup is responsible for a change of the crystal morphology in the industrial crystallization process of maltitol (C(12)H(24)O(11)). Maltotriitol can be used as an inhibitor of acid production in human dental plaque.
