People who are suitable to Isomaltulose

Isomaltulose (Palatinose) is a natural sugar found in the products like sugarcane and honey and it will not cause tooth cavities.  The basic features are: White crystal, odorless, sweet, about 42% of the sweetness of sucrose, pure sweetness , basically the same as sucrose, no bad aftertaste, melting point 122~124℃, specific optical rotation [α] 20D97.2°, acid resistance , not easily hydrolyzed . In the classification of sweeteners, isomaltulose can be used as a carbohydrate that provides calories ( 4Kcal/g ) or as a sugar substance to provide sweetness.

1. Suitable for diabetic patients.

After ingesting isomaltulose, the cumulative increase in blood sugar level in the body is much lower than that of sugar. The range of change in insulin and blood sugar levels in the blood is balanced, indicating that the absorption rate of isomaltulose is much slower than that of sucrose and is suitable for diabetic patients.

2. Non-cariogenic, especially suitable for children.

Many kinds of bacteria are in the tartar of tooth surface. When it is too much sugar to be taken in,the bacteria in the tartar, such as Streptococcus mutans, ferment sucrose to produce acid, causing calcium to dissolve and lead to erosion. In addition, Streptococcus mutans can also synthesize insoluble and highly adhesive glucan from sucrose, which can adhere to teeth and produce tartar. Whereas Isomaltulose cannot be used by the microorganisms that cause tooth decay in the oral cavity , and certainly it will not produce insoluble glucan. Therefore, it will not cause tooth cavities and periodontal disease problems.

3. Suitable for people with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, obesity and those who are afraid of obesity

The low calorie Isomaltulose can be digested and absorbed like sucrose. Its caloric value is about 4Kacl/g, making it more suitable for people with high blood pressure, high blood fat and obese people and people who are afraid of obesity.

4. Suitable for sports athletes.

The slow hydrolysis and absorption speed makes it more suitable for sports athletes. In order to maintain endurance and reduce fatigue, athletes need to supplement long-term energy. After isomaltulose enters the human body, it can be hydrolyzed in the small intestine by the carbohydrase-isomaltase complex into glucose and fructose, which are the same decomposition products of sucrose, and can then be digested and absorbed. Since its hydrolysis speed is one- fifth that of sucrose , It can be inferred that the absorption rate of isomaltulose is much slower than that of sucrose. In addition, isomaltulose can be completely digested and absorbed and converted into energy, so it is particularly suitable for providing energy for long-term sports.

5. Suitable for the general public – intestinal probiotic function

Isomaltulose is an excellent bifidobacteria proliferation factor . Although isomaltulose cannot be used by the enzyme system of the human body and most microorganisms, it can be used by the human intestinal tract. It is decomposed and utilized by bifidobacteria in the tract to promote the growth and reproduction of bifidobacteria.
