Product Overview

Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) is a natural functional prebiotic oligosaccharide, available in two forms: powder and syrup. Both versions are food grade, with mainstream specifications IMO 50% and IMO 90%. It helps boost the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and widely used in food, beverage, dairy and dietary supplement industries. Our Isomaltooligosaccharide complies with CP, USP, EP standards and holds ISO9001, HALAL certification for global food additive export.

Characteristic

 

A: Isomaltooligosaccharide Powder

1.Good water solubility, dissolves quickly in water to form clear solution.

2.Mild and pure sweetness, about 40% sweetness of sucrose.

3.Excellent thermal stability, stable under high-temperature food processing.

4.Dry solid form, easy storage and transportation, long shelf life.

5.Convenient for solid formula production.

 

B: Isomaltooligosaccharide Syrup

1.Viscous liquid state, easy to mix directly into liquid formulations.

2.Mild sweet taste, same sweetness level as powder form.

3.Good compatibility with liquid raw materials, no dust during operation.

4.Good thermal stability, suitable for beverage and liquid food production.

5.Requires anti-leakage packaging, sensitive to high temperature storage.

 

Main Functions

 

Both powder and syrup share identical core functions:

 

1.Prebiotic Activity Significantly proliferate Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the intestine, inhibit harmful bacteria growth, balance intestinal microecology.

2.Gastrointestinal Regulation Improve intestinal peristalsis, relieve intestinal discomfort, and maintain daily intestinal health.

3.Low Calorie Replacer Replace sucrose in formulas, reduce total calorie intake, suitable for healthy low-sugar food.

4.Formula Protection Prevent sugar crystallization, stabilize product texture, improve food taste and freshness.

 

Applications

 

A: Isomaltooligosaccharide Powder

Solid dietary supplements, solid drinks, bakery, candy, chocolate, milk powder, low-sugar solid food.

 

B: Isomaltooligosaccharide Syrup

  • Liquid beverages, probiotic drinks, yogurt, liquid dairy products, liquid seasonings, liquid functional food.
