Isomalt is a mixture of two isomers, α-D-pyranose-glucopyranosyl-1,6-sorbitol (GPS) and α-D-pyranose-glucopyranosyl-1,1-mannitol (GPM), obtained by enzymatically reforming the sucrose structure to form a more stable reducing disaccharide, isomaltulose, and then hydrogenating it. It is also called palatinol or isomalt.
The sweetness is about half of that of sucrose, the sweetness is pure, and the sweetness is the closest to that of sucrose;
The hygroscopicity is extremely low, almost no moisture absorption;
Negative heat of solution, -39.4KJ, no cooling sensation;
The caloric value is half of that of sucrose, 2.0Kcal/g;
The solubility is about 1/2 of sucrose, but as the temperature rises, the solubility approaches that of sucrose; it is stable to acid and heat;
No Maillard reaction, reducing caramelization;
The sweetness is pure and natural, and can be used in combination with other sweeteners to cover up their unpleasant taste.
1 Does not cause blood sugar to rise
The human body's own digestive enzymes are extremely difficult to utilize isomalt, and the hydrolysis rate is slower than sucrose, and the absorption rate is much slower than sucrose. It will not cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels, so it will not cause blood sugar to rise.
The GI value of isomalt is between 2 and 12. After consumption, the blood sugar response is gentle, and the increase is much lower than that of glucose.
2 High tolerance
The human body's tolerance to isomalt is surprisingly large. Daily intake of 50g will not cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, after review and approval by the FAO/WHO Joint Food Additives Expert Committee, the daily intake of isomalt is not regulated. my country stipulates that the consumption is ≤100 grams/day.
3 Oral health care
It will not cause changes in the pH value of the tooth surface and is not caries-causing. Isomalt is not fermented by oral bacteria to produce insoluble glucans that cause dental caries, and adding isomalt to sucrose can significantly inhibit the production of insoluble glucans.
4 Prebiotics - Intestinal Health
Isomalt is an excellent bifidobacterium proliferation factor. Although isomalt cannot be used by the enzyme system of the human body and most microorganisms, it can be decomposed and utilized by bifidobacteria in the human intestine, promoting the growth and reproduction of bifidobacteria, maintaining the microecological balance of the intestine, and is beneficial to human health.
