Overview of Isomalt
Isomalt is a sugar substitute that is widely employed in confectionery, food as well as pharmaceutical uses. It is a sweetener with a minimal effect on blood sugar levels, making it ideal for sugar-free confectionery or chocolates as well as baked goods.
The CAS number of Isomalt is 64519-82-0. It is available as a white crystalline powder or in stick form, making it easy to use in sugar-free formulations, candy molds, and coatings.
Application of Isomalt
Sugar-Free Candies and Confectionery
Isomalt candy is used in sugar-free sweets, lollipops, and chocolate decorations. It offers the same sweetness as sugar but with fewer calories and reduced risk of dental issues. Isomalt sticks are ideal for pulling, shaping, and molding decorative sweets. In many confectionery formulations, Isomalt is often used along with Sorbitol or Maltitol to improve texture and sweetness balance.
Baking and Food Applications
Isomalt can be used in desserts and baking recipes that do not contain sugar to preserve sweetness and reduce the sugar content. It is frequently used in conjunction together with the other alcohols of sugar to provide an even texture and flavor. In food formulations, it is frequently combined with other sugar alcohols such as Xylitol or Erythritol to achieve smooth texture and clean taste.
Pharmaceutical Use
In pharmaceuticals, Isomalt is used in chewable tablets, lozenges, and sugar-free syrups. It ensures good taste, stability, and compatibility with active ingredients without raising blood sugar levels.
Comparison with Other Sweeteners
Compared to Isomaltulose, Isomalt is better suited for confectionery and candy applications. Both are low-glycemic sweeteners, but Isomalt provides better stability and workability for sweets.
