💡 Product Description

Sugar free sweetener isomaltulose low GI ingredients Palatinose for sports nutrition

Isomaltulose is a disaccharide carbohydrate composed of glucose and fructose. The glucose and fructose are linked by an alpha-1,6-glycosidic bond. Naturally present in honey and sugarcane extracts, it tastes similar to sucrose but with only about half the sweetness. It is manufactured by enzymatic rearrangement of sucrose from beet sugar.

Sweetener Sweetness (vs Sucrose) Kcal/g GI Origin
Erythritol 0.7 0.2 0 Glucose fermentation
Sucrose 1 4 61-65 Sugarcane and beet
Isomaltulose 0.3-0.4 4 32 Sucrose isomerization
Key Features & Applications
  • Low Hygroscopy: Very low moisture absorption, providing free-flowing properties in instant powders without lumping.
  • Processing Stability: Highly stable during processing, including acidic conditions and environments where bacteria might grow.
  • Energy Source: Provides the same amount of food energy as sucrose (4kcal/g) but with a slower release.
  • Wide Application: Ideal for baked goods, pastry glazings, cereals, dairy produce, sports beverages, and energy drinks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Isomaltulose (Palatinose)?
It is a natural carbohydrate derived from beet sugar through enzymatic rearrangement, providing a slow-release energy source with a low Glycemic Index (GI).
Q2: How sweet is Isomaltulose compared to sugar?
Isomaltulose has a clean, sucrose-like taste profile but is only about 45% to 50% as sweet as table sugar.
Q3: Is it suitable for sports nutrition?
Yes, it is highly popular in sports nutrition because it provides sustained energy and maintains isotonicity better than higher-GI sugars during storage.
Q4: Does Isomaltulose absorb moisture easily?
No, it has very low hygroscopy, meaning it remains free-flowing and is resistant to lumping, which is excellent for instant powder mixes.
Q5: Is Isomaltulose safe for food production?
Yes, it is recognized as GRAS in the US, approved as a novel food in the EU, and has FOSHU status in Japan.
Q6: Can it be used in baking?
Certainly. Its physical properties closely resemble sucrose, making it easy to incorporate into existing recipes for baked goods, glazings, and icings.
