About Us

Corn Products Specialty Ingredients, a part of Corn Products U.S. and formerly the food business of SPI Polyols Inc., is a premier manufacturer and supplier of polyols and polyol-based sweetener systems for the food, confectionery, nutritional and pharmaceutical industries.

What are Polyols?

Polyols (sometimes referred to as "sugar alcohols") are low-caloric, sugar-free, alternative sweeteners used to replace traditional sweeteners. Maltitol, sorbitol and mannitol are a few of the more commonly used polyols.

Benefits of Formulating with Polyols

  • Direct 1:1 replacement for sucrose and/or corn syrup in low-sugar and sugar-free formulations
  • Excellent for "Sugar Free," "Reduced Sugar" and "No Sugar Added" product labeling
  • Provide exceptional bulk where high intensity sweeteners do not
  • Reduced in calories vs. sucrose with characteristics similar to sucrose
  • Low-glycemic and suitable for a diabetic diet
  • Non-cariogenic (do not promote tooth decay)
  • Can be used alone or in combination with other polyols and/or sweeteners
