I believe that the reduced maltose syrup used as an ingredient in Lakanto Jam affects blood sugar levels, so can’t you use only Lakanto extract and erythritol as sweeteners?

If we use only Lakanto extract and erythritol as sweetening ingredients for Lakanto Jam, it will be difficult to manufacture a stable jam in terms of quality. Considering the solubility of erythritol, we also use some reduced maltose syrup to adjust the sugar content and taste of the jam. The energy of reduced maltose syrup is calculated to be 1/2 that of sugar, but we included it because it has very little effect on the postprandial rise in blood glucose levels.
