What is Organic IMO Syrup?
Organic IMO Syrup (isomaltooligosaccharide syrup) is a natural, organic sweetener derived from starch through enzymatic hydrolysis. It is composed of short-chain carbohydrates called oligosaccharides, mainly isomalto-oligosaccharides, which are naturally found in foods like honey and some fruits. Known for its mild sweetness and low glycemic index, Organic IMO Syrup is an excellent alternative to traditional sugars, offering all the sweetness with fewer calories and a low impact on blood sugar levels. It is perfect for a variety of food and beverage applications and can be used as a sugar substitute in a range of dietary products.
Production Process:
- Sourcing: Made from organic corn or tapioca, sourced from certified organic farms.
- Hydrolysis: The starch is treated with natural enzymes to break it down into isomalto-oligosaccharides, which are naturally occurring oligosaccharides that are not fully absorbed by the body, resulting in fewer calories.
- Purification & Concentration: The syrup undergoes filtration and concentration to achieve the desired viscosity and purity, maintaining its mild sweetness and natural characteristics.
- Quality Control: The syrup undergoes stringent quality checks to ensure it meets the highest standards for purity, taste, and safety.
Key Features:
- Low Glycemic Index: With minimal impact on blood sugar levels, Organic IMO Syrup is an ideal choice for diabetics or those on low-glycemic diets.
- Low-Calorie: Contains fewer calories than traditional sugars, making it a perfect option for weight management or low-calorie diets.
- Natural Sweetener: Derived from organic corn or tapioca, offering a clean label and natural sweetness with no artificial ingredients.
- Mild, Sugar-Like Taste: Provides a smooth, pleasant sweetness similar to sugar, without the bitterness or aftertaste common in other sugar substitutes.
- Gut Health Benefits: Contains prebiotic fibers that may support healthy gut bacteria and digestive health.
- 100% Organic & Non-GMO: Produced from certified organic ingredients, free from GMOs and harmful chemicals.
