MALTISORB® Maltitol
for sugar - FREE coating

Widely used in Europe and in the United States, Roquette Maltitol is the ideal polyol for premium quality sugar-free coatings.

Description

Roquette MALTISORB® Maltitol is the best polyol for crunchy coating which is the key factor for success in the market.

Traditional maltitol hard coating

Roquette’s unique technique(*)

Roquette has developed a procedure enabling a reduction of the hard coating time without any change in the crunchiness.
(*) lycoat® process

The process involves the use of fine Maltitol Powder and Maltitol Syrup.
It requires less water to be evaporated than in the traditional
Hard Coating process. Consequently, it is much faster.

Manufacturing: the keys to success

Crunchiness and Stability of the coating are the crucial key parameters
demanded by the market. It is thus important for confectioners to focus on these two main factors for success. Taste, sweetness and whiteness also play important roles.

Roquette recommendations

Roquette has developed both suitable ingredient (MALTISORB® Maltitol) and process conditions which enable similar quality and processing time as for sugar dragees.
(See lycoat® process).

• MALTISORB®, crystalline maltitol, purity Ž 98%.
• Theoretical and experimental data show that coating with MALTISORB® can give better crunchiness and stability than other polyols due to its nature and low hygroscopicity.

Roquette, has extensive pilot scale facilities including manual and automatic pans (Dria coater 1200), which are available to you.
