To understand the fundamental physical properties of calcium maltobionate (MBCa), its water sorption isotherm, glass transition temperature (T (g)), and viscosity (eta) were investigated and compared with those of maltobionic acid (MBH) and maltose. Although amorphous maltose crystalized at water activity (a (w)) higher than 0.43, MBCa and MBH maintained an amorphous state over the whole a (w) range. In addition, MBCa had a higher T (g) and greater resistance to water plasticizing than MBH and maltose. These properties of MBCa likely originate from the strong interaction between MBCa and water induced by electrostatic interactions. Moreover, the effects of temperature and water content on eta of an aqueous MBCa solution were evaluated, and its behavior was described using a semi-empirical approach based on a combination of T (g) extrapolated by the Gordon-Taylor equation and a non-Arrhenius formula known as the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann equation. This result will be useful for understating the effect of MBCa addition on the solution's properties.
