Description

6-o-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-Glucitol is a high-purity sugar alcohol derivative, also known as Isomalt. This compound is valued for its excellent stability and low hygroscopicity compared to other polyols, making it a superior choice for various demanding applications. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking reliable, multi-functional excipients and sweeteners.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a bulk sweetener and texturizing agent in sugar-free confectionery, baked goods, and chocolate due to its low glycemic index and non-cariogenic properties.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Serves as an excipient in tablet coating, chewable tablets, and lozenges, providing excellent compressibility, low moisture uptake, and pleasant mouthfeel.
• Nutraceuticals & Supplements: Employed as a carrier and sweetening base for vitamin and mineral supplements, enhancing stability and palatability.
• Personal Care Products: Functions as a humectant and texturizer in oral care products like toothpaste and mouthwash, as well as in cosmetic creams.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a chiral starting material or intermediate in specialized organic synthesis and biotechnology applications.
