![]() ![]() ![]() In this work we used these physicochemical results to optimize maltitol crystallization both by reducing the process duration and by improving the obtained crystal quality. To complement these molecular properties, the different maltitol solution physicochemical properties having a relationship with maltitol–water or maltitol–maltitol interactions like solubility, metastable zone width, viscosity, and density were determined. We have previously used FTIR spectra to study structural properties of the maltitol molecule in concentrated solution like molecular associations or changes in conformation. This is particularly the case for molecular arrangements, which take place before and during crystallization process. It is obvious that maltitol, like other disaccharides, owes some of its functional properties to structural features such as the flexibility of the glycosidic bond and hydrogen bonding and to its aqueous solution physicochemical properties, especially solubility and metastable zone width. ![]()
