Lactitol 300 Mesh Powder is a fine-particle lactitol ingredient developed for formulations requiring uniform powder distribution, convenient dry blending and controlled particle size.
Lactitol is a sugar alcohol derived from lactose and is widely used as a bulk sweetener and functional food ingredient. It has approximately 30–40% of the sweetness of sucrose and can provide sweetness while also contributing bulk and texture to suitable formulations.
Our 300 mesh lactitol powder is suitable for food manufacturers, ingredient distributors and formulation companies looking for a finely milled lactitol grade with consistent specifications and reliable bulk supply.

Lactitol is recognized by JECFA as a food additive with functional uses including sweetener, texturizer and thickener.
For purchasing purposes, the exact 300 mesh passing rate, moisture content, assay and other specification limits should be confirmed against the product TDS or COA.
Lactitol is a disaccharide-derived sugar alcohol produced from lactose. In food formulations, it can be used as a bulk sweetening ingredient where manufacturers require moderate sweetness together with solids and texture.
The “300 mesh” specification refers specifically to the fine particle-size grade of the powder. Compared with coarser lactitol grades, fine powder can be advantageous in formulations where even ingredient distribution and efficient dry blending are important.
For industrial buyers, particle size should not be considered alone. Assay, moisture, reducing sugars, pH, microbial limits and application requirements should also be evaluated before selecting a lactitol grade.
The finely milled powder is suitable for formulations requiring consistent distribution of lactitol throughout a dry ingredient system.
Fine particles can be useful when lactitol needs to be blended with other powdered ingredients such as sweeteners, flavor systems or functional additives.
Lactitol provides substantially less sweetness than sucrose, which makes it useful as a bulk ingredient where formulators need solids and texture without excessively increasing sweetness. PubChem reports its sweetness at approximately 30–40% that of sucrose.
In addition to sweetening, lactitol is classified by JECFA as a texturizer and thickener, allowing formulators to consider both sweetness and physical formulation characteristics.
Lactitol can be evaluated for chocolates, candies and other confectionery formulations where bulk sweetness and texture are important.
Its combination of sweetness and bulk makes lactitol suitable for selected bakery and dry-mix formulations.
Fine lactitol powder can be useful in applications where manufacturers require uniform dispersion of powdered ingredients.
The 300 mesh grade can be considered for dry mixes requiring fine and consistent ingredient distribution.
Depending on the formulation, regulatory market and product grade, lactitol may be incorporated into functional food products as a sweetening or texturizing ingredient.
Lactitol is also known for use as an excipient. However, pharmaceutical or nutraceutical applications should only be promoted where the supplied product grade, quality system and documentation meet the relevant application requirements.
The main difference is particle-size specification rather than the basic chemical identity of lactitol.
| Consideration | Lactitol 300 Mesh | Coarser Lactitol Powder |
|---|---|---|
| Particle Size | Fine | Larger particles |
| Dry Blending | Suitable for fine powder blends | Suitable for general formulations |
| Ingredient Distribution | More uniform in suitable dry mixes | Application dependent |
| Powder Handling | Requires appropriate fine-powder handling | Generally less fine |
| Recommended Selection | Fine formulation systems | General-purpose applications |
The correct grade should be selected based on processing conditions rather than assuming that finer powder is automatically better for every application.
