Isomaltulose is tooth friendly, unlike starches or other sugars. Isomaltulose is not used by the oral micro<br />

flora as a nutrient source. Therefore no significant amount of harmful acids that lead to cariogenic<br />

lesions are produced from isomaltulose, as demonstrated in vivo by pH-telemetry tests.<br />

PALATINOSEô as an ingredient in food production<br />

Isomaltulose is derived from sugar (sucrose) by enzymatic conversion of the 1,2-linkage of glucose and<br />

fructose into the more stable -1,6-bond. A commercial process was developed by S‹DZUCKER.<br />

Isomaltulose is a carbohydrate providing 4 kcal/g. It has a natural sugar-like taste with a mild sweetness that<br />

is about half that of sucrose. 2 It is used to replace sucrose in recipes but it is used for other nutritional<br />

reasons as well (e.g. in sports drinks for longer energy supply). Because of its low hygroscopicity and good<br />

flowability it is used in powder applications (e.g. instant powder drink applications), its high stability under<br />

acidic conditions is important in liquid applications. The main area of application is in drinks. Other categories<br />

of use are, e.g. cereals and cereal products, milk-based products, confectionery/baked goods etc.<br />

Products with Palatinoseô contribute to a healthy lifestyle.<br />

2 Being half as sweet as sugar does not result in higher uses compared to sucrose but in less sweet products. Double the amount does<br />

not lead to the same sweetness of sugar! To use the simple model of a candy of 3 gram: Doubling the amount of isomaltulose means<br />

doubling the size and weight of the candy and it still would not be as sweet as a sucrose candy.<br />
