Description

6-o-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-Fructose, Isomaltulose Hydrate is a naturally occurring, low-glycemic disaccharide derived from sucrose. This compound matters for its unique metabolic properties, offering a slow-release carbohydrate source that provides sustained energy without causing sharp spikes in blood glucose levels. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries seeking functional sugar alternatives for products targeting health-conscious consumers and specialized dietary needs.

Application

• Functional Food & Beverage Ingredient: Used as a bulk sweetener in energy bars, sports drinks, and meal replacements for its sustained energy release.
• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Formulations: Incorporated into dietary supplements, syrups, and chewable tablets as a stable, non-cariogenic excipient and carbohydrate source.
• Infant & Clinical Nutrition: Serves as a key carbohydrate in specialized infant formulas and medical nutrition products due to its excellent digestibility and metabolic profile.
• Confectionery & Bakery Products: Applied in sugar-reduced candies, chocolates, and baked goods to provide sweetness, texture, and browning properties while supporting a lower glycemic claim.
• Oral Care Products: Utilized in tooth-friendly chewing gums and lozenges as it is non-acidogenic and does not promote dental caries.
• Animal Feed & Pet Food: Acts as a palatability enhancer and energy source in premium pet nutrition and livestock feed.
• Fermentation & Biotechnology: Employed as a selective carbon source in microbial fermentation processes for the production of probiotics, enzymes, and other bio-products.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Functions as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and other topical formulations.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
