Application

The presence of maltotriitol (C(18)H(34)O(16)) in maltose syrup is responsible for a change of the crystal morphology in the industrial crystallization process of maltitol (C(12)H(24)O(11)). Maltotriitol can be used as an inhibitor of acid production in human dental plaque.

General description

Maltotriitol is a sugar.

In the industrial crystallisation process of maltitol (C(12)H(24)O(11)), the presence of maltotriitol (C(18)H(34)O(16)) in the maltose syrup is responsible for a change of the crystal morphology. Two different crystal forms of maltitol were obtained: a prismatic one and a 'bipyramidal'
