A key benefit of maltols is their ability to improve flavors. Traditionally, maltols were associated with sweet products and used primarily with fruit and berry flavor, such as pineapple and strawberry. Today, maltols have been used successfully among these flavors:

Tropical fruit blends, berry and citrus
Vanilla, creamy, and brown flavors as in caramel, cocoa, and maple
Dairy flavors
Savory flavors
Microwave - brown/cooked flavors

Some applications:

Beverage:
In a lemon-lime isotonic drink, the lemon-lime flavor is increased with use of maltols and blended to give a distinctly pleasant flavor character.

Baked Goods:
In reduced-fat cookies and cakes, the sweet, brown, caramellic qualities of maltols provide richer, more flavorful taster. Maltols improve flavor that is lost with reduced calorie formulations.

Frozen Desserts:
Maltols accentuate the fruit and berry flavors in sherbets and sorbets, and round the overall flavor profile.

Sauces and Dressings:
In reduced fat salad dressing, maltols can help blend and smooth the flavor notes which tend to be harsher and "spiky" in these food products.
