What is Isomaltitol Powder?
Isomaltitol Powder is a certified non-GMO sugar alcohol derived from beet sugar through enzymatic hydrogenation. With 45-60% of the sweetness of sucrose and 2.0 kcal/g, it offers a zero-glycemic, tooth-friendly solution for sugar-free formulations. Its exceptional heat stability and resistance to crystallization make it ideal for hard candies, baked goods, and coatings. Certified Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, and Halal.
Key Features & Benefits
- Very Low Glycemic Impact: GI ≈ 2 – may be suitable for low-glycemic, keto, and zero-sugar formulations.
- Heat Stability: Resists decomposition at high temperatures (melting point ~145–150°C) for baking and candy-making.
- Low Hygroscopicity: Resists moisture absorption, extending shelf life in dry applications.
- Tooth-Friendly: Non-acidogenic and non-cariogenic.
- Clean Label: Free from artificial additives, allergens, and GMOs.

FAQs
Q: Is isomaltitol powder keto-friendly?
A: Yes! With a GI of 2 and minimal net carbs, it’s ideal for keto and low-carb diets.
Q: How does isomaltitol differ from maltitol?
A: Isomaltitol has lower sweetness (50% vs. 90%) and GI (2 vs. 35–50), with superior heat stability for hard candies.
Q: Can isomaltitol replace sugar in baking?
A: Use a 1:1 ratio for bulk, but pair with high-intensity sweeteners (e.g., stevia) to match sucrose sweetness.
Q: Does it cause gastrointestinal issues?
A: Like all sugar alcohols, excess consumption (u0026gt;30g/day) may cause mild laxative effects.
