Isomalt Powder

About The Detailed Introduction Of Isomalt?

Isomalt powder (Isomalt), also called palatinitol, is a sugar substitute or sugar alcohol processed from beets. Although naturally derived, this compound is often considered a man-made product due to extensive chemical manipulation. It is most often used in commercial food production and is labeled "sugar-free" on product labels. Isomalt has been widely used as a preservative due to its ability to extend the shelf life of certain products. This compound has a more complex chemical composition than natural sugar. Its molecular formula is C12H24O11, which is two independent bonds of disaccharide with crystal structure.
Isomaltitol is a polyol food additive, also known as isomalt sugar alcohol. It is a crystalline powder made from the esterification reaction of isomaltose and sorbitol. It has a sweet taste and is not easily absorbed by the human body. Therefore, it is widely used in the food industry, especially in low-calorie, low-sugar, and low-calorie foods. middle.
It can be broken down into isomaltose and sorbitol by the body, but this process is very slow, so its absorption rate is also very slow. Compared with sucrose, the sweetness of isomalt is only 50-60%, and its caloric value is only about one-half of sucrose. Therefore, it is often used as a low-calorie, low-sugar, and low-calorie substitute, such as Candy, chocolate, chewing gum, ice cream, drinks and more.
Compared with other polyol food additives, it has some unique advantages. First, it does not trigger a sharp rise in blood sugar levels, making it an ideal alternative for diabetics or people who need to control blood sugar. Second, isomalt does not cause cavities because the bacteria in your mouth cannot convert it into acid. In addition, it is also considered a food additive with good taste, no astringency, long-lasting sweetness and high suitability.

Product Features

Lower Caloric Value: Compared with maltitol, xylitol, and sorbitol, isomaltulose has a lower caloric value and is more in line with the low-calorie appeal of sugar-free foods.
Low Glycemic Index: The glycemic index is a measure of a food's effect on the body's blood sugar. Compared with maltitol, xylitol, and sorbitol, isomalt has a lower glycemic index and less impact on blood sugar fluctuations in the human body, and can be consumed by diabetic patients.
High Safety: Compared with commonly used maltitol, xylitol, and sorbitol, isomalt has higher safety.
Pure Sweetness: It has pure sweetness and is currently recognized as the sugar alcohol closest to the sweetness of sucrose. It gives people a refreshing and sweet feeling. Its sweetness is 45-60% of sucrose, and its sweetness is mild and delicate. There is no bad taste during or after consumption. The sweetness does not change with temperature, and it can show pure sweetness at various temperatures.
Low Hygroscopicity: at 25°C, it does not actually absorb moisture until the relative humidity is 85%.
Oral Health Care: It is difficult to be decomposed by oral bacteria, will not cause changes in the pH value of the tooth surface, and will not cause dental caries. Oral pH change curve caused by ingesting equal amounts (15ml0.3mol/L) of sucrose and isomalt (pc is chewing paraffin for 3 minutes)

What Are The Benefits?

Sweetener: Isomalt has a sweet taste, and its sweetness is about 50-60% of sucrose. Therefore, it is often used as a sweetener to replace sugar, providing delicious sweetness to foods and beverages without adding excessive calories and blood sugar levels.

Low Calorie: Compared to sucrose, the caloric value of isomalt is only about half. This makes it ideal for low-calorie products such as low-sugar foods, low-calorie candies, etc. By using isomalt, you can reduce sugar intake, control your weight, and manage your blood sugar.

Controls Blood Sugar Levels: Considered a low glycemic index sweetener. It is absorbed slowly during digestion and does not cause a sharp rise in blood sugar levels. Therefore, isomalt is an ideal choice for diabetics or people who need to control blood sugar.

Does Not Cause Dental Caries: Compared with sucrose, it has less effect on the formation of tooth decay. Bacteria cannot completely metabolize isomalt to produce an acidic substance, thereby reducing the risk of tooth decay. This makes it widely used in chewing gum, candies and other products.

Good Taste And Long-Lasting Sweetness: It has good taste characteristics and can provide a taste and sweetness similar to sucrose. It does not produce an astringent or bitter taste compared to other artificial sweeteners and provides a long-lasting sweetness.

Anti-Icing Agent: Also used as anti-icing agent and widely used in food processing. It can prevent food from freezing in low temperature environments and maintain the quality and taste of food.

What Are The Application Directions?

Food And Beverage Industry: Isomalt powder is used as a sweetener and sugar substitute, and can be applied to various foods and beverages, such as candy, chocolate, biscuits, chewing gum, ice cream, beverages, etc. It provides a delicious sweet taste without causing a dramatic spike in blood sugar levels and is low in calories.

Medicine And Health Care Products: It is also widely used in medicine and health care products. It is often used as a sweetener in oral care products, such as toothpaste, children's oral care products, etc. In addition, due to its low glycemic index and low-calorie properties, isomalt also has potential applications in the treatment and management of diabetes.

Food Processing Technology: Due to its anti-icing properties, isomalt is widely used in food processing technology. In frozen foods, refrigerated foods and other foods that need to be protected from freezing, isomalt can maintain the quality and taste of the food.

Feed Industry: It is also used in the feed industry as an additive to animal feed. It can sweeten the feed and improve the animal's appetite without having a significant impact on the animal's blood sugar level.

Cosmetics And Personal Care Products: Also used as a sweetener in cosmetics and personal care products. It gives the product a pleasant sweet taste without negatively affecting the skin.
