Isomalt, also known as parakininol, yishou sugar or coral sugar, is a functional sugar alcohol produced from sucrose through enzymatic conversion and catalytic hydrogenation. It is in the form of white crystalline particles, with a sweetness level approximately ranging from 45% to 65% of that of sucrose. It has a pure taste and a texture similar to sucrose, unlike other sugar alcohols which have a distinct cooling sensation. Its key characteristics include low hygroscopicity, high stability (resistant to acids and alkalis, high temperature, no Maillard browning occurs), no caries-causing effect, low glycemic index, and minimal impact on blood sugar and insulin levels. Due to its extremely high safety, it has been granted GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) certification by the US FDA, and the FAO/WHO does not set any daily intake limit for it. With these properties, isomalt has become an ideal substitute for sucrose and is widely used in food, medicine, and cosmetics industries.
Applicaiton:
I. Food and Beverage Industry
Candy Manufacturing: Isomaltulose is an ideal raw material for producing sugar-free hard candies, soft candies, tablet candies, chewing gum, toffee, etc. Its low hygroscopicity ensures that hard candies do not stick together or flow when cold, allowing them to be stored in bulk, which prolongs the shelf life and reduces packaging costs; in chewing gum and tablet candies, it can fully release the flavor and the sweetness lasts for a long time. It can also be used for sugar art decorations, such as star-shaped lollipops and crystal candies.
Chocolate and coating: Isomaltulose can be directly mixed and finely ground with cocoa butter and other raw materials without the need for pre-crushing. Its low hygroscopicity and chemical stability give chocolate excellent storage stability, preventing surface frosting, and can be used to produce sugar-free or low-calorie chocolate.
Baking and cereal products: Applied in products such as bread, cakes, cookies, cereal breakfasts, etc. Since it does not participate in the Maillard reaction, attention should be paid to the color issue of the products. The color can be improved by adjusting the baking temperature or adding a small amount of fructose. It can protect the fruit tissues at high temperatures and help extend the product's shelf life.
Beverages and dairy products: Used in refreshing beverages, ice cream, jelly, yogurt, and dairy dessert products, etc. The viscosity of frozen yogurt with added isomaltulose can be increased by 19% to 52%, the calorie content can be reduced by approximately 43%, and it can also improve the product's resistance to melting and storage stability.
Other applications: It can also be used as a coating material for sugar pills, a binder for cereal bars, and a sweetening agent for tables.
II. Medicine and Health Supplements
Pharmaceutical excipients: Isomaltulose is widely used as a filler or binder in tablets and lozenges due to its excellent compressibility and adhesiveness. It can enhance the compressibility of the drug and effectively mask the unpleasant taste and odor of the active pharmaceutical ingredient. It has been included in multiple national pharmacopoeias such as the United States Pharmacopeia and the European Pharmacopeia.
Functional food raw materials: As a low-calorie and non-glycemic sweetener, they are used in the production of special foods, meal replacement foods and weight management products suitable for people with diabetes.
III. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products
Oral care: Its non-caries-causing property makes it an ideal substitute for sugar in oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash.
Skin care and personal care products: It can be used in facial cleansers, toners, masks and other products. Its low moisture absorption and high stability help improve the quality of the products.
