This product is a food-grade, high-purity crystalline lactitol powder (CAS No. 585-86-4; Molecular Formula: C₁₂H₂₄O₁₁). Derived from natural lactose found in skimmed whey, it is produced through catalytic hydrogenation, multi-stage recrystallization, and aseptic fine milling. As a functional sugar alcohol sourced from natural cow's milk, it contains no artificial sweeteners, added colors, preservatives, or fillers, and complies with global "Clean Label" production standards.
The finished product appears as a uniform, snow-white, fine crystalline powder with excellent flowability; it is free from caking and dark impurities. It has a mild, neutral odor. Upon dissolution, it offers a soft, smooth sweetness without cloying aftertastes or the cooling, stinging sensation often associated with other sugar alcohols. Its exceptional flavor compatibility allows it to perfectly preserve the natural aroma of the food products in which it is used.
Its sweetness is approximately 35%–40% that of sucrose, and its caloric value is only 2.4 kcal/g-significantly lower than white sugar. With a very low glycemic index and slow absorption, it does not cause rapid postprandial blood sugar spikes and requires minimal insulin for metabolism, making it a key sugar alcohol ingredient for sugar-free baking, sugar-controlled snacks, chocolate, and dairy products. Additionally, it offers excellent anti-cariogenic properties, high digestive tolerance, and moisture-retention capabilities, making it suitable for diverse applications across the food, oral care, dietary supplement, and pharmaceutical excipient sectors.

Six Core Product Advantages for Differentiation
Derived from food-grade whey lactose-a renewable, natural dairy-based raw material-rather than chemically synthesized sugar alcohols. It features a simple, clean ingredient list that meets labeling requirements for premium overseas organic foods, sugar-free baby/toddler foods, and healthy supermarket snacks, distinguishing it from synthetic sugar substitutes.
With a sweetness level only 40% that of sucrose, it offers a smooth, lingering taste without bitter aftertastes or cooling sensations. It preserves the authentic aromas of chocolate, dairy, nuts, and fruit inclusions. It is the preferred sugar alcohol for premium sugar-free chocolates, cookies, cream cakes, and fillings, solving the common issue where the cooling effect of xylitol disrupts baked flavor profiles.
Boasts a low GI of 9; slow absorption prevents sharp insulin spikes, making it safe for diabetics, those managing weight, and keto dieters. It resists conversion into stored body fat and fits perfectly into formulations for "diabetic-friendly," "low-sugar," and "keto" health food product lines.
It cannot be fermented by cariogenic oral streptococci to produce acid, effectively lowering the risk of cavities and enamel erosion. Its excellent moisture-retention properties make it suitable for sugar-free lozenges, chewing gum, and oral gels, balancing dental protection with a smooth mouthfeel; it also works synergistically when combined with xylitol.
Exhibits excellent thermal stability; it does not decompose, yellow, or brown during high-temperature processes such as baking (at 180°C), boiling, extrusion, or sterilization. Acid- and alkali-resistant, it forms clear, sediment-free aqueous solutions and blends seamlessly with milk powder, fats, cocoa powder, dietary fiber, hydrocolloids, and vitamins without separating or clumping. Its excellent powder flowability ensures smooth operation on fully automated, high-speed tableting, filling, and extrusion lines, preventing machine clogging or bridging.
We operate our own large-scale, climate-controlled (temperature and humidity regulated) warehouses with a constant stock of over 10,000 tons. Standard export packaging includes 25kg fiber drums or woven bags with food-grade liners; we also support neutral (unbranded) packaging and OEM services with custom logos. Documentation such as COA reports, SDS, sanitary certificates, and certificates of origin is available. We accommodate small-batch sampling as well as LCL (less-than-container load) and FCL (full container load) shipments via sea or air. A dedicated foreign trade team manages the entire process-including documentation, logistics, and customs clearance-to minimize communication costs for overseas buyers.
