Description

Palatinose (also known as Isomaltulose) is a naturally occurring, fully digestible disaccharide carbohydrate. It offers a unique combination of a low glycemic index and sustained energy release, making it a superior functional sugar alternative. This product is essential for manufacturers in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries seeking to develop healthier, low-glycemic formulations without compromising on taste or texture.

Application

• Functional Food & Beverages: Used as a bulk sweetener in energy bars, sports drinks, and meal replacements for sustained carbohydrate release.
• Confectionery: Ideal for sugar-reduced chocolates, chewing gums, and hard candies due to its mild sweetness and low cariogenic properties.
• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceuticals: Serves as an excipient or active ingredient in dietary supplements and medical nutrition products targeting blood glucose management.
• Bakery Products: Incorporated into breads, cakes, and biscuits to provide browning, texture, and a reduced glycemic response.
• Dairy Products: Used in yogurts, ice cream, and flavored milks as a stabilizing sugar that enhances mouthfeel.
• Animal Nutrition: Applied in premium pet foods and livestock feed as a palatable and digestible energy source.
