1 SUGAR ALCOHOLS . DHW SUGAR ALCOHOLS Specific Properties of DHW Sorbitol and Xylitol Spray-Dried SUGAR ALCOHOLS belong to the group of polyhydric ALCOHOLS and are produced by a catalytic hydrogenation of natural Unique benefits for your applications by specific particle structures carbohydrates. They are naturally present in smaller quantities in fruits as well as in certain kinds of vegetables. DHW SUGAR ALCOHOLS comprise the products Sorbitol, Xylitol and Maltitol. By means of the specifically developed spraying technology, unique application benefits can be achieved by the Sorbitol is a hexavalent SUGAR alcohol and is derived from the catalytic reduction of glucose. Xylitol is produced by formation of a specific particle structure.

2 Catalytic hydrogenation of the pentahydric alcohol xylose. Maltitol is obtained of natural disaccharide maltose after catalytic hydrogenation.
