What is Isomaltooligosaccharide?

Isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) is a kind of oligosaccharide, its main components are isomaltose, panose, and isomaltotriose. Because it can promote the significant proliferation of bifidobacteria in the human body, it has the function of water-soluble dietary fiber. Low calorific value, anti-caries and other properties, so it is also called "bifidus factor" and "prebiotic".

Isomalto-oligosaccharides are currently widely used in infant products, health care products, functional drinks, pastries and candies.

1. Baby products

As a prebiotic added to glucose, milk powder, rice noodles and other products, its "bifidus factor" function can enhance the immunity of infants and young children.

2. Health products

Isomaltooligosaccharide is an oligosaccharide, which can improve the taste of health products without affecting blood sugar, and has the function of improving intestinal health. It is the first choice for many health products.

3. Functional drinks

Isomaltooligosaccharide can be added to beverages as a water-soluble dietary fiber to replace part of sucrose and reduce sugar content.

4. Pastry candies

The pastry industry uses isomaltooligosaccharide to partially replace sucrose, which can not only enhance the taste and reduce powdered sugar, but also improve the grade.
