The application of lactose alcohol largely lies in replacing sucrose. The product with this sweetener can be used as a low heat energy, sugar free and caries free product, and is suitable for diabetes patients. Lactitol can be used in various candy production, such as chocolate, hard candy, caramel, soft candy, and chewing gum, as well as ice cream and baked goods. All of these products demonstrate their universality as a bulk sweetener of lactose alcohol.

In the production of chewing gum, lactose alcohol can replace sorbitol to avoid moisture absorption during production and storage. This means that cheaper packaging materials can be used, which also has a positive impact on the environment. In hard and soft candy, the mixture of lactose alcohol and maltitol syrup is similar in processing and final product quality to traditional candy products.

In addition, lactose alcohol can be used as a quality improver in livestock feed to enhance animal preferences and promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria in animals. It can be used as an excipient in medicine and is also used in cosmetics such as toothpaste, cigarettes, and lipstick. With the diversification of food and the continuous improvement of the comprehensive quality of color, aroma, and taste, lactose alcohol as a new type of functional sweetener has also been increasingly valued and developed.
