Maltols are more than simply flavor enhancers. Traditionally, maltols were associated with sweet products and used primarily with fruit and berry flavors, such as pineapple and strawberry. Today, maltols are much more versatile. These products can improve flavor by blending and balancing flavor attributes in a broad range of food and beverage systems, from dairy to savory.

Maltols offer these benefits:

Improved flavor in a variety of food and beverage systems, including dairy, savory, sweet and spice flavors.

Potentiated sweetness of both conventional and high intensity sweeteners. Reduce usage level of sweeteners, while maintaining equivalent sweetness. Improve quality profile of sweetener.

Increased creamy mouthfeel , particularly in low- and non-fat formulations. Used in many applications to provide a richer, fuller and creamier product.

Masked bitterness and off-flavors often associated with ingredients like caffeine, vitamins, salt replacers, high intensity sweeteners and some dairy-based ingredients.

Suppressed chemical bite and burn in food and beverages where acidulants and preservatives are used.

Applications

Applications for maltols include beverages, baked goods, dairy products, snacks, confections, cereals, dressings, soups, and gravies. Additionally, maltols are used in non-food applications, including pet food, animal feed, over-the-counter drugs and personal care products.
