Description

Isomaltosylfructoside is a specialized oligosaccharide derived from sucrose, functioning as a functional food ingredient and a versatile chemical intermediate. Its value lies in its unique bifidogenic properties and its role as a prebiotic fiber, promoting digestive health and offering a low-glycemic alternative to traditional sweeteners. This product is essential for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, functional food, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to develop innovative health-promoting formulations.

Application

• Prebiotic and Synbiotic Formulations: As a selective substrate for beneficial gut microbiota (e.g., Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli) to support digestive and immune health.
• Functional Food & Beverage Production: Incorporated into health drinks, yogurts, cereals, and snack bars to enhance fiber content and provide a mild sweetness.
• Dietary Supplements: Used in capsule, tablet, or powder form as a standalone prebiotic supplement or in combination with probiotics.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Potential use as a stabilizer, carrier, or taste-masking agent in solid dosage forms due to its low hygroscopicity and neutral taste profile.
• Animal Nutrition: Applied in feed for pets and livestock to improve gut health and nutrient absorption.
• Cosmetic Applications: Investigated for use in skincare products for its potential moisturizing and skin microbiome-balancing properties.

Quality Control

Our Isomaltosylfructoside is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for food and nutraceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing parameters such as assay, moisture content, and microbiological limits. We adhere to relevant FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) guidelines and can support compliance documentation for global markets.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed after each use to prevent caking and degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
