Isomaltulose (Palatinose), 6-O-α-D-glucopyranose-d-fructose, is a crystalline, reductive disaccharide formed from glucose bound to fructose in an α-1, 6-glucoside bond.
The molecular formula is C12H22O11•H2O. Isomaltolose crystal contains 1 molecule of water, rhombic crystal, appearance and white sugar similar, the crystal is slightly finer than white sugar, after losing water does not crystallized.
The sweetness is 42% of sucrose. Its sweet properties are similar to those of sucrose. Isomaltolose is not hygroscopic. Strong acid hydrolysis resistance. Slightly less thermally stable than sucrose, it is not fermented by most bacteria and yeasts. Mask odors and balance taste and flavor. It is slightly easier to stain than sucrose when heated at high temperature for a long time.
APPLICATION:
Sports nutrition foods, low GI foods, diet foods, dental foods, brain foods, beverages, etc.
FUNCTION:
1. The calories are the same as sucrose, 4Kcal/g.
2. Slow metabolism. When Isomaltulose (Palatinose) is metabolized, its hydrolysis rate is 1/5 ~ 1/4 that of sucrose, and glucose is released slowly throughout the metabolic process.
3. Isomaltulose (Palatinose) is a low GI sugar with a GI value of only 32, which has a good slow control effect on blood sugar. The blood sugar response is characterized by slow, low blood sugar levels and long duration, which can provide the human body with energy for a longer and more stable time. At the same time, the effect on insulin levels is also small.
4. It can provide energy for the human body for a long time. After consuming isomaltulose, the blood sugar level and the concentration of insulin are increased by 10-20% compared with fasting, and this state can be maintained for a long time. This can provide a certain concentration of energy source to the brain for a long time, keep the brain full of energy, and stabilize the body's function and mental state.
