Maltosyl (G2)-mannitol, produced by the transglycosylation of mannitol with maltotriose by Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase, was not found to support lactic acid production by Streptococcus sobrinus NRRL 14555. Furthermore, the synthesis of water-insoluble glucans from maltosyl-mannitol by S. sobrinus NRRL 14555 was much lower than that from xylitol or mannitol. Consequently, these results suggest that maltosyl-mannitol could be used as a noncariogenic sugar substitute in food products.
