What is Organic Isomaltitol?
Organic Isomaltitol is a sugar alcohol that is naturally derived from organic sources like sugar beets. It is commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener with a mild sweetness, making it an ideal sugar substitute for diabetic, low-carb, or sugar-free diets. Isomaltitol is known for its ability to provide the sweetness of sugar without causing blood sugar spikes. Certified organic and non-GMO, it is a great alternative for those seeking to reduce their sugar intake without sacrificing taste.
Production Process:
- Sourcing: Sourced from 100% organic, non-GMO sugar beets or corn, ensuring purity and high quality.
- Hydrogenation: The process begins by hydrogenating sucrose or glucose to produce isomaltitol, a sugar alcohol that mimics the taste and texture of sugar.
- Purification: The isomaltitol is then purified to remove any residual impurities, leaving behind a clean and pure sweetener.
- Drying: After purification, isomaltitol is crystallized or dried into powder form for easy use in a variety of applications.
- Quality Control: Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for purity, quality, and consistency before being packaged.
Key Features:
- Low Glycemic Index: Isomaltitol has a much lower glycemic index than regular sugar, meaning it has a minimal impact on blood sugar levels.
- Reduced Caloric Content: Isomaltitol provides sweetness with fewer calories, making it suitable for weight management and sugar reduction diets.
- Natural Sweetener: Made from 100% organic, non-GMO ingredients, it offers a clean and natural alternative to traditional sweeteners.
- Non-Hydroscopic: Isomaltitol is stable in high humidity, preventing it from absorbing moisture and becoming sticky, which is ideal for food formulations.
- Digestive Benefits: Unlike other sugar alcohols, isomaltitol is easier on the digestive system, with a lower likelihood of causing bloating or discomfort when consumed in moderation.
