We offer the widest range of polyols in the Americas. Our polyols can be used alone or in combination with other polyols and/or sweeteners to meet virtually any reduced-sugar, no-sugar-added or sugar-free formulation.
MALTISWEET® is available in both liquid and crystalline forms and effectively reduces the need for high-intensity sweeteners. It is a 1:1 replacement for sucrose and corn syrups and offers superior bulking capabilities and optimal sweetness and stability. It offers viscosity more like sucrose, immediate flavor release, and brilliant color for candies due to its exceptional clarity.
HYSTAR® polyglycitols and maltitol syrups are combinations of maltitol, sorbitol and high-molecular-weight polymers, primarily used in sugar-free hard candies and caramels. We also offer polyglycitols for use in personal care and pet care products.
STABILITE® polyglycitols are combinations of maltitol, sorbitol and high-molecular-weight polymers. The syrups are primarily used in sugar-free hard candies and caramels, while the powders are often found in spray-dried form and utilized in applications including baked goods, coatings, hard candies and chewing gum. We also offer polyglycitols for use in personal care and pet care products.
Sorbitol has tremendous humectancy for longer shelf life. SORBOGEM® Crystalline Sorbitol is widely used in food and confectionery applications, functioning as a cryoprotectant, crystallization inhibitor, freeze point depressant, and plasticizer.
SORBO® Sorbitol Solutions are clear, syrupy liquids most often used as bulking agents, sweeteners and humectants in a wide range of applications. SORBO® Sorbitol Solutions are approximately 60% as sweet as sucrose, and often used in combination with high-intensity sweeteners to create an alternative to sucrose. We offer several sorbitol solutions with varying functional characteristics to meet your specific formulation needs.
Used primarily in confectionery applications, powdered Mannitol provides stability and protection to finished products. Its cooling effect and sweetness make it an ideal low-calorie alternative to sucrose. And its slow absorption reduces rises in blood sugar.
ERYSTA® Crystalline Erythritol is a new addition to our polyol portfolio. The white, crystalline, odorless powder is approximately 70% as sweet as sucrose with a clean, sweet taste similar to sucrose. At 0.2 calories per gram, erythritol has approximately 7 to 13% the calories of other polyols and 5% the calories of sucrose. Erythritol is also considered a natural, sugar-free sweetener, which is important to select food and beverage manufacturers.

GLYSTAR® Polyol Solutions are combinations of polyols with glycerin. Combining polyols with glycerin offers much broader control of physical attributes such as viscosity, freeze point depression, boiling point, water activity and osmotic balance.
.COMbinations Performance Systems are custom-tailored polyol-based systems created through the artful combination of polyols with various other traditional and alternative sweeteners. The uniform dispersion of these products in both liquid and crystalline form provides exceptional ease of use in a variety of applications. In addition to the functional benefits of each individual element, our performance systems deliver further synergistic benefits that can not be achieved using any one sweetener alone.
Applying proprietary integration technology designed to maximize performance and versatility of polyols in formulation, our technical team can customize a convenient, easy-to-use performance system especially for you.
ERYSTA® Performance Systems
ERYSTA® Performance Systems consist of ERYSTA® brand crystalline erythritol together with other polyols and/or sweeteners that can help further reduce calories in formulation as well as minimize laxation concerns associated with some less rapidly absorbed polyols. Other synergistic benefits include improved sweetness, body, mouthfeel and masking of off-notes.
GLYSTAR® Performance Systems
GLYSTAR® Performance Systems are unique blends of polyols and glycerin, combining the various functional benefits of both elements in one product. These blends are used to control humectancy, water activity and moisture balance, and are an excellent lower-cost alternative for glycerin in formulation.
XYLOGEM™ Performance Systems
XYLOGEM™ Performance Systems cost-effectively combine the benefits of xylitol with other polyols and/or sweeteners.
Other specialty systems designed to order
Corn Products Specialty Ingredients offers superior glycerin extender and replacer systems as lower-cost alternatives without compromising the functional versatility that makes glycerin such an attractive ingredient. Whether you want to reduce the amount of glycerin in your formulation or eliminate it altogether, we have the tools to meet your specific need. And, because we know that substituting ingredients in formulation can be a tricky balancing act, we offer the option to either "do-it-yourself" or let us create a customized, "ready-to-use" system especially for you.
If glycerin replacement is your goal, our select HYSTAR® Polyglycitol Solutions are an excellent alternative. These clear, colorless hydrogenated starch hydrolysates provide outstanding humectancy and body for a variety of food, personal care, oral care, pet care, tobacco and industrial applications. For "do-it-yourself" control over your formulation, we will simply supply the HYSTAR® and let you do the blending yourself. Of course, our technical team has extensive expertise in this area and is always available to assist you.
If you still want to use glycerin but also want to take advantage of cost savings and synergistic benefits that come with combining glycerin with other polyol components, our GLYSTAR® Performance Systems are the way to go. These unique blends of glycerin and other polyols are designed to provide exceptional control of humectancy, water activity and moisture balance, as well as sweetness and mouthfeel, while offering the added advantages of caloric reduction and improved cost control.
