Physicochemical Properties of Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) - High-Quality Functional Sweetener from China

(1) Sweetness of IMO - Natural Low-Sugar Alternative: IMO has a sweetness level 40%-50% that of sucrose, making it ideal for reducing excessive sweetness in food products while improving overall taste quality.

(2) Viscosity of Isomaltooligosaccharide - Easy-to-Process Food Ingredient: Its viscosity is similar to that of sucrose solution at the same concentration, ensuring compatibility in food processing with no adverse effects on the structure of candies, pastries, and baked goods.

(3) Low Water Activity of IMO - Natural Preservative for Extended Shelf Life:
IMO has a water activity (Aw) value of 0.75, lower than sucrose (0.85) and high maltose syrup (0.77). This property inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold, enhancing food preservation naturally.

(4) Browning Characteristics of IMO - Ideal for Maillard Reaction Applications:
IMO undergoes Maillard reactions when heated with proteins or amino acids. The browning intensity depends on concentration, protein type, pH, temperature, and heating time.

(5) Heat and Acid Stability of IMO - Suitable for Diverse Food Processing:
IMO remains stable under high-temperature and acidic conditions, making it a reliable ingredient in beverages, canned foods, and acidic products.

(6) Moisture Retention of IMO - Improves Freshness in Starchy Foods:
IMO effectively retains moisture, delays staling, and prevents sugar crystallization in baked goods and confectionery.

(7) Low Fermentability of IMO - Enhances Functional Longevity in Products:
Highly resistant to fermentation, IMO maintains its prebiotic benefits and functional properties throughout storage and processing.

(8) Freezing Point Properties of IMO - Optimal for Frozen Food Formulations:
IMO's freezing point depression is similar to sucrose, with a higher freezing temperature than fructose, making it suitable for ice cream and frozen desserts.

(9) Digestive Tolerance of IMO - Gentle Functional Sweetener for Daily Use:
Unlike some oligosaccharides, IMO is least likely to cause bloating or diarrhea, offering a safe and comfortable dietary fiber alternative.

From Tapioca starch, through the enzyme, after liquefaction, concentration, drying and a series of processes and get white powder products, is a natural product which can promote bifidobacterium of the body significantly and have the functions of water soluble dietary fiber, low calorific value, prevent dental caries etc., so it is a kind of functional oligosaccharides used widely.
It is a kind of starch sugar product made from starch by enzymatic conversion, refining and concentration.The main components are isomaltose, pantose, isomaltriosaccharide and isomaltetrasaccharide (including tetrasaccharide) and the oligosaccharides above that are bonds by α-1,6 glycosidic.

Function:

(1) Promote the digestion and absorption of food and maintain the normal function of the intestine.
(2) Improve diarrhea and feces, inhibit pathogenic bacteria and spoilage bacteria.
(3) Improve the body's immunity and act as an immunomodulator.
(4) Reduce intestinal carcinogens, improve serum lipids, and lower cholesterol content.
(5) Nutrient absorption promotion effect and nutrient production.

IMO (Isomaltooligosaccharide): Good flavor, pure taste, and easy to use. It has a better taste than RDX, a lower price, mild physical effects, and good acid-heat stability, making it a preferred base ingredient for many energy bars.

Not recommended for NO SUGAR or sugar-free products,
nor for zero-calorie products, as it is not low-GI and cannot help control blood sugar. However, it is superior to glucose syrup and offers certain sugar-reduction benefits.

Powder and syrup forms are primarily used in: baking, health products, enzymes, beverages, etc.
Raw materials include corn and cassava, available in organic and non-organic forms.

Application:

Isomaltooligosaccharide is suitable to replace part of sucrose and be added to various beverages and foods, such as:
Beverages: carbonated drinks, soy milk drinks, fruit drinks, vegetable juice drinks, tea drinks, nutritious drinks, iron supplements, calcium supplements, iodine supplements, alcoholic beverages, coffee, cocoa, powdered beverages, etc.
Dairy products: cow milk, flavored milk, fermented milk, lactic acid bacteria beverages, and various milk powders.
Confectionery: all kinds of soft candies, hard candies, sorghum syrup, brown candies, chocolates, all kinds of biscuits, all kinds of pastries, yokan, moon cakes, dumpling fillings and various pie fillings.
Sweet snacks: pudding, gelatin food, etc.
Cold drinks: all kinds of ice cream, popsicle, ice cream, etc.
Baked goods: bread, cakes, etc.
In addition, it can also be used as an ingredient for processed animal meat, aquatic products, jam oil, processed honey, etc.

Certification:

At present, ours products have passed international BRC certification, US FDA certification, international ISO series certification, IP non-GMO certification, HALAL certification, KOSHER certification, ORGANIC EU/US organic certification, Japanese organic certification, domestic organic certification.
