Product Overview
Isomaltose is a reducing disaccharide made of two glucose units linked by α-1,6 glycosidic bond. It is supplied in powder and syrup forms. Minor amounts of maltose, glucose and other oligosaccharides may exist, depending on the production process. It functions as sweetener and prebiotic ingredient, and carries anti-cariogenic property. Approved for food applications, it is widely used in beverages, dairy, bakery and confectionery. It can also be incorporated in nutritional supplements.
Characteristics
1.Mild sweetness, approximately 50% sweetness of sucrose
2.Low glycemic response
3.Stable under common food processing temperature
4.Two available forms: powder and syrup for different formulation demands
5.Compliant with international food ingredient standards
Main Functions
1.Sweetener: delivers mild sweetness for food formulations and partially replaces sucrose.
2.Prebiotic ingredient: passes through upper digestive tract intact, stimulates the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria and balances gut microecology.
3.Anti-cariogenic sugar: cannot be fermented by oral cariogenic bacteria, helps reduce tooth decay risk.
Applications
1.Food & Beverage: functional drinks, dairy products, baked goods, candies and confectionery. It delivers mild sweetness, supports gut health and helps prevent dental caries.
2.Nutritional supplements: used in functional nutritional formulations to supply prebiotic components.
