Sugar Substitutes - Lactitol Natural Sweeteners To Save Calories
Lactitol is a sugar alcohol used as a replacement sweetener for
low calorie foods with approximately 40% of the sweetness of sugar.
Lactitol is produced by two manufacturers, Danisco Sweeteners and
Purac Biochem.
Lactitol is used in a variety of low food energy or low fat foods.
High stability makes it popular for baking. It is used in sugar-free
candies, cookies (biscuits), chocolate, and ice cream. Lacitol also
promotes colon health as a prebiotic. Lactitol only has 2 calories
(9 kilojoules) per gram, compared to 4 calories (17 kJ) per gram
for typical carbohydrates.
Lactitol, sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, and maltitol are all sugar
alcohols. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies
sugar alcohols as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS).
They are approved as food additives, and are recognized as not contributing
to tooth decay or causing increases in blood glucose. Lactitol is
also approved for use in foods in many other countries, including
Canada, Japan, Israel, and throughout the European Union.
