General description

Maltitol is a sugar alcohol and nutritive sweetener, exhibiting reduced laxative effects, hence finds applications in different food products, beverages and dietary supplements.
Pharmaceutical secondary standards for application in quality control, provide pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.

Application

These Secondary Standards are qualified as Certified Reference Materials. These are suitable for use in several analytical applications including but not limited to pharma release testing, pharma method development for qualitative and quantitative analyses, food and beverage quality control testing, and other calibration requirements.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sugar substitute with a weak genotoxic effect.

Analysis Note

These secondary standards offer multi-traceability to the USP, EP (PhEur) and BP primary standards, where they are available.

Other Notes

This Certified Reference Material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025. All information regarding the use of this CRM can be found on the certificate of analysis.

The present study was aimed to investigate the metabolic effects of acute and chronic oral administration of maltitol (4-O-i-D-glucopyranosyl-D-glucitol), a hypocaloric sweetener obtained from maltose by catalytic hydrogenation. Fifty grams of maltitol induced a increase lower glycemic and insulinemic than
