What are Organic Isomaltoligosaccharides?
Organic Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMO) are certified organic, non-GMO prebiotic fibers derived from organic tapioca or rice starch via enzymatic conversion. These branched glucose oligomers resist digestion, nourish beneficial gut bacteria, and provide 50-60% of sucrose’s sweetness with minimal caloric impact (2 kcal/g). Available in powder and syrup formats, they are ideal for low-glycemic, diabetic-friendly, and gut-health-focused food and beverage applications. Certified USDA Organic, vegan, and allergen-free.
