What is Organic IMO Syrup?
Organic IMO Syrup (Isomalto-Oligosaccharides Syrup), also referred to as Organic Prebiotic Syrup or Low-GI Functional Sweetener, is a premium liquid ingredient derived from 100% certified organic tapioca or corn starch through enzymatic hydrolysis. This lightly sweet, colorless to pale amber syrup serves as a multifunctional additive for B2B manufacturers seeking to enhance product nutritional profiles while reducing added sugars.
As a natural prebiotic fiber, IMO syrup selectively nourishes beneficial gut microbiota (e.g., Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus), promoting digestive health, immune support, and improved mineral absorption. With a low glycemic index (GI ~35) and non-cariogenic properties, it is ideal for diabetic-friendly, dental-safe, and child-nutrition applications.
The syrup’s high solubility, heat stability (up to 160°C), and humectant capabilities make it a versatile clean-label solution for baked goods, beverages, and functional supplements. Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Kosher/Halal-compliant, it aligns with global consumer demand for transparent, plant-based, and sustainable ingredients.
