Food Additives Sweeteners Lsomaltose Powder CAS 499-40-1 Maltose Powder
Description of raw materials:
Isomaltose is a disaccharide carbohydrate composed of two glucose molecules linked together. It is a natural component of honey and is also produced when starch is broken down during digestion. Isomaltose is less sweet than regular table sugar (sucrose) and is often used in the food industry as a sweetener, particularly in sugar-free or reduced-sugar products.
In addition to its sweetening properties, isomaltose has gained attention for its potential as a prebiotic, which means it can serve as a food source for beneficial bacteria in the gut. This has led to its use in some functional food products and dietary supplements aimed at promoting gut health.
Isomaltose is also used in the production of maltitol, another sugar alcohol commonly used as a sweetener in sugar-free and reduced-sugar products.
As with any food ingredient, it's important to consider individual dietary needs and potential sensitivities when consuming products containing isomaltose.
