It has no aftertaste, low moisture absorption, and high solubility. Its relative molecular weight is similar to sucrose, and its impact on water activity is similar to sucrose. It is stable under acidic and alkaline conditions, and is also very stable under high temperature conditions in food processing. Lactitol is suitable for many foods, such as baked goods, sugar coated candy, and frozen lactose containing desserts
