Abstract: Maltitol stearic acid ester was synthesized by condensation of maltitol with stearoyl chloride in the presence of the catalyst and with acetic acid as solvent. Effects of catalyst and solvent amounts, reaction temperature and time, and molar ratio of stearoyl chloride to maltitol were assayed. The optimum conditions of the synthesis are determined.
