Functions

  • Sweetening: It provides a sweet taste similar to sucrose, making it possible to replace sucrose in many foods to meet the sweet – tasting needs of consumers.
  • Low – Calorie and Blood Glucose Regulation: It is not easily digested and absorbed in the body, with a calorific value of only about 5% of that of sucrose, and it does not significantly increase blood sugar and cholesterol levels, making it an ideal sweetener for therapeutic foods.
  • Dental Health Protection: It is not metabolized by oral microorganisms and does not produce acid to corrode teeth, which helps prevent dental caries.

Applications

  • Food Industry: It is used in functional foods for diabetics and obese patients. It is also widely used in the production of candies, chocolates, fruit juice drinks, and frozen foods. In baked goods, it can prevent browning and extend the shelf life.
  • Chemical Industry: It can be used as a raw material for synthetic chemistry to manufacture synthetic resins, surfactants, contact agents, etc.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry: It can be made into medicinal drinks and other products for patients with diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, obesity, and osteoporosis, as it can promote calcium absorption and has little impact on blood sugar.
  • Cosmetics Industry: Its good hygroscopicity and moisturizing properties make it suitable as a moisture regulator in cosmetics.
