Description

6(2)-α-Glucosylmaltotriose is a specialized oligosaccharide, a branched derivative of maltotriose where an additional glucose unit is linked via an α-1,6 glycosidic bond. This unique structure is significant for its functional properties as a low-digestible carbohydrate and prebiotic fiber, offering specific physiological benefits. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, functional food, and advanced research sectors seeking to develop products for glycemic management and gut health.

Application

• As a functional ingredient in low-glycemic index (GI) foods and beverages.
• As a prebiotic dietary fiber to selectively stimulate beneficial gut microbiota.
• In clinical nutrition and medical food formulations for metabolic health.
• As a stabilizer and texturizer in dairy products and nutritional supplements.
• As a research biochemical for studying carbohydrate metabolism and enzyme specificity.
• In the development of oral care products as a non-cariogenic sweetening component.
