Isomalt is a sugar substitute and a sugar alcohol made from beets. Despite its natural origins, the compound is generally considered artificial, at least in so far as it has been extensively chemically manipulated. It is most commonly used in commercial food manufacturing, and items that contain it can be labeled "sugar free. " It has also been shown to extend the shelf-life of certain products, which has led to its widespread use as a preservative.
Creation and Production
The compound was first engineered by the German company BENEO-Palatinit in the early 1980s. It became popular throughout Europe at that time, but was not approved for use in the United States until 1990. Most countries around the world have also approved it for human consumption, and it remains a popular additive to a number of foods, particularly sweets.
Creating isomalt is somewhat complicated. Chemists first isolate the natural sugar compounds from beets, then convert them - Usually with heat - Into a reducing disaccharide. This product is then hydrogenated using a catalytic converter. The end result is a sugar-like substance that has many of the characteristics of a natural sweetener but contains only low levels of glucose. Accordingly, it has only a very minor impact on blood sugar levels, and is generally considered "safe" for diabetics and others with blood sugar concerns. Isomalt is alsogluten free.
Benefits natural taste, low calories, low hygroscopicity and toothfriendly.
ISOMALT suits all kinds of people, especially those people who are not fit to sugar.
Manufacturing
ISOMALT is a white, crystalline substance containing about 5% water(free & crystal). It can be made in a wide range of particle sizes from granulate to powder to suit any application.
In this manufacture sucrose is used as raw material. Sucrose is Isomerized by enzyme to become Isomaltulose, of which the unsaturated carbonylwill be hydrogenated with the help of catalyst to become saturated hydroxyunder the conditions of high temperature and pressure, thus changing Isomaltulose into Isomaltitol. In fact, Isomaltitol is the mixture of GPS and GPM.
