High Quality Food Additives Sweetener 99% Isomaltulose Sweetener 8000 Times
Product Description
Isomaltulose is a naturally occurring sugar, a type of oligosaccharide, mainly composed of glucose and fructose. Its chemical structure is similar to sucrose, but it is digested and metabolized differently.
Features
Low-calorie: Isomaltulose has lower calories, about 50-60% of sucrose, and is suitable for use in low-calorie foods.
Slow Digestion: Compared with sucrose, isomaltulose is digested more slowly and can provide sustained energy release, making it suitable for athletes and people who need sustained energy.
Hypoglycemic reaction: Due to its slow digestion properties, isomaltulose has less impact on blood sugar and is suitable for patients with diabetes.
Good sweetness: Its sweetness is about 50-60% of sucrose and can be used as a sugar substitute.

Funtion
The functions of isomaltulose mainly include the following aspects:
1. Low Calorie: Isomaltulose has about 50-60% of the calories of sucrose and is suitable for use in low-calorie and diet foods.
2. Slow Release Energy: It is digested and absorbed slowly and can provide long-lasting energy, suitable for athletes and people who need sustained energy.
3. Hypoglycemic reaction: Due to its slow metabolism, isomaltulose has less impact on blood sugar and is suitable for patients with diabetes and people who need to control blood sugar.
4. Good sweetness: Its sweetness is about 50-60% of sucrose. It can be used as a substitute for sugar to provide suitable sweetness.
5. Promote intestinal health: Isomaltulose can be fermented by probiotics in the intestine, helping to maintain the balance of intestinal microorganisms and promoting intestinal health.
6. Thermal Stability: It can still maintain its sweetness at high temperatures and is suitable for use in baked and processed foods.
Overall, isomaltulose is a versatile sweetener suitable for a variety of food and beverage applications, especially where caloric and glycemic control is required.
Application
Isomaltulose has a wide range of applications, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Food and Beverages:
- Low-calorie foods: Used in low-calorie or sugar-free foods such as candies, biscuits, and chocolates to provide sweetness without adding too many calories.
- Beverages: Commonly found in sports drinks, energy drinks and flavored waters, providing a sustained release of energy.
2. Sports Nutrition:
- Due to its slow-digesting properties, isomaltulose is often used in sports nutrition products to help athletes maintain energy during prolonged exercise.
3. Diabetes Food:
- Among the foods suitable for diabetics, it helps control blood sugar levels and provides sweet taste without causing drastic fluctuations in blood sugar.
4. Baked Products:
- Due to its heat stability, isomaltulose can be used in baked goods to maintain sweetness and provide a good mouthfeel.
5. Dairy products:
- Used in some dairy products to add sweetness and improve mouthfeel.
6. Condiments:
- Used in condiments to provide sweetness without adding calories.
Notes
Although isomaltulose is considered safe, moderate intake is recommended when using it to avoid possible digestive discomfort.
