In the United States, polyglycitol syrup (also called hydrogenated starch hydrolysates) is permitted as a bulk sweetener; the U.S. doesn’t use E-numbers, so it appears on labels by name and as a sugar alcohol.

It is used in U.S. foods under good manufacturing practice and must be labeled as a sugar alcohol; like other polyols, excess intake may cause a laxative effect in some people.
What is in polyglycitol syrup?
A mixture of sugar alcohols—primarily maltitol and sorbitol—plus maltotriitol and other hydrogenated oligo- and polysaccharides in water.
What is polyglycitol syrup made of?
It’s produced by catalytic hydrogenation of plant-derived starch hydrolysates (e.g., corn, wheat, or potato glucose syrups), converting the sugars into polyols.
What is the glycemic index of polyglycitol syrup?
There isn’t a single GI because it varies by formulation, but it generally has a lower glycemic impact than sugar; manufacturers typically report low-to-moderate GI values depending on maltitol content.
Fao/who expert committee of food additives 1983 lactitol?
In 1983, JECFA (FAO/WHO) evaluated lactitol and assigned an ADI “not specified,” reflecting low toxicity; they noted that high intakes can cause typical polyol-related gastrointestinal effects (gas, laxation).
How is lactitol digested?
It is poorly absorbed in the small intestine and is fermented by colonic bacteria to short‑chain fatty acids and gases, providing about 2 kcal/g and producing an osmotic/laxative effect at higher intakes.
How is lactitol formed?
Lactitol is formed by catalytic hydrogenation of lactose, reducing the glucose moiety to sorbitol to yield the disaccharide alcohol 4‑O‑β‑D‑galactopyranosyl‑D‑sorbitol.
How is lactitol made?
Industrial production hydrogenates lactose (often from whey) under pressure over a nickel catalyst, then purifies and crystallizes it as lactitol monohydrate or concentrates it into a syrup.
Lactitol monohydrate syrup how to use?
Use orally as labeled for constipation: typically start around 10–20 g once daily and adjust to achieve a soft stool, taking with meals or water. Expect possible gas and bloating; follow product instructions and seek medical advice for children, pregnancy, or if symptoms persist.
