Zero-calorie sugar is a substitute for sugar. After sugar substitute enters the human body, it does not participate in metabolism, does not generate heat, and does not lead to excessive sugar in the body. Zero calorie sugar is a kind of zero calorie functional sugar, which can replace added sugar. It consists of erythritol, mogroside, stevioside and other components. Because 0-calorie candy is a pure natural sweetener, it can ensure zero energy and will not cause blood sugar increase in the body.
Maltitol is obtained by hydrogenation of maltose, which is one of the sugar alcohols used as low-calorie sweeteners in the early days. Europe, America, Japan and other countries are now widely used in the production and development of sugar-free candy, food and beverage products. Maltitol is widely used because of its unique physiological function. Maltitol is difficult to digest and metabolize in human body, and it is a good low-calorie sweetener.

Maltitol is a white crystalline powder or a colorless and transparent neutral viscous liquid, which is easily soluble in water and insoluble in methanol and ethanol. Very hygroscopic. Animal experiments show that maltitol can promote the absorption of calcium in intestine, increase bone mass and strengthen bone strength.
About 10% maltitol in human body is decomposed and absorbed by small intestine and used as energy. The remaining 90% is decomposed into short-chain fatty acids under the action of bacteria in the large intestine, and the rest is absorbed by the large intestine for energy.
