I never expected that moon cakes would be searched in this way: #DIAmentation#
.
In response to this, Zhihu also responded.
In order to pursue low-sugar health, he chose the mooncakes with maltitol instead of sucrose, but ignored that maltitol may cause intolerance to some people

I thought it was a food safety issue, but it turned out that the maltitol content in the formula was too high.

What is maltitol?
Maltitol is a synthetic sugar alcohol substance, which is difficult to digest in the human body and has a low energy value.
It is true that maltitol is often added to food as a substitute for sugar
.
However, sugar alcohols have a characteristic, eating too much may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or diarrhea

Can moon cakes containing maltitol still be eaten?
Some netizens calculated that in a 75g sweet-scented osmanthus-flavored mooncake, the content of maltitol accounted for 50%
.
Relevant clinical data show that a single intake of 20g of maltitol may cause diarrhea in some people with sensitive stomachs, and a single intake of 50g will cause diarrhea in half of the population
.
Based on this data, eating one or more moon cakes at a time has a high probability of diarrhea.
It is relatively safe to eat 1/4 to 1/2 moon cakes each time

Are there any regulations on the amount of maltitol in my country?
At present, in China's national standards, maltitol can be used as a food additive in cakes, grain product fillings, biscuits and other foods.
It needs to be used in appropriate amounts according to production needs, and there is no specific limit
.
Therefore, Zhihu moon cakes do meet the relevant standards of the food industry, but from a professional and scientific point of view, the risk of diarrhea due to excessive maltitol intake has not been considered from the beginning, and the formula itself has certain problems

This incident also tells us a problem from the side, don’t pursue sugar-free and low-sugar products too much

If you are worried that mooncakes are too high in energy, you can actually eat a few bites less.
After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is only once a year~
