  • Applications

    Lactitol Monohydrate (CAS 81025-04-9) is used in food processing as a low-calorie bulk sweetener and humectant, commonly applied in confectionery, bakery products and dairy/frozen desserts to improve texture and moisture retention; in pharmaceuticals it serves as an inert excipient, filler and binder for tablets and capsules, aiding powder flow and formulation stability; in cosmetics and personal care it functions as a humectant and texture enhancer in creams, lotions and gels.
