Isomalto Oligosaccharide IMO Powder

Product Description

What is Isomalto Oligosaccharide IMO ？

Isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) is a short-chain sugar mixture used as a low-calorie sweetener, prebiotic fiber, and food additive. It consists of glucose units linked by special bonds that resist complete digestion in the small intestine.

Isomaltooligosaccharides are produced by enzymatically breaking down plant starches (such as corn starch or cassava starch).Found in small amounts in honey, miso, sake, and soy sauce.

Uses and Properties

• Sweetness: Has about 50% to 60% the sweetness of regular table sugar.
• Common Foods: Added to protein bars, low-sugar candies, syrups, and packaged diet foods to improve texture and add a sweet taste.
• Gut Health: Acts as a prebiotic to feed good bacteria in the gut, though industrial versions may act more like digestible sugars than true dietary fiber for some people.

Isomalto-oligosaccharides Applications

Isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMOs) are functional, low-calorie prebiotic fibers used primarily as alternative sweeteners, texture enhancers, and gut health supplements in the food, beverage, and animal feed industries.

• Food and Beverage

Confectionery and Dairy: Used as a sugar substitute or low-calorie syrup to provide texture, moisture retention, and mild sweetness (about 50% to 60% the sweetness of regular sugar).

Functional Foods: Blended with intense high-potency sweeteners (like stevia or sucralose) in protein bars and baked goods to mask unpleasant aftertastes and add bulk filler.

Beverages: Added to health drinks, juices, and liquid dairy to improve mouthfeel without adding excess digestible sugars.

• Health and Nutrition Supplements

Prebiotic formulations: Included in dietary supplements to feed good gut bacteria (like Bifidobacteria) and support bowel regularity without promoting tooth decay.

Metabolic support: Utilized in specialized foods aimed at supporting healthy blood lipid profiles and gut barrier function.

• Animal Feed

Livestock and aquaculture: Added to feed for pigs, poultry, and fish to improve daily weight gain, reduce diarrhea rates, and balance intestinal microflora.

• Cosmetics

Utilizing its excellent moisturizing and film-forming properties, it is used in skincare products and toothpaste (anti-caries).
