What is Organic Isomaltulose?
Organic Isomaltulose, chemically known as 6-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-fructose, is a certified organic, non-GMO disaccharide derived from enzymatic conversion of organic sucrose (from beets or sugarcane). Marketed under the trade name Palatinose®, this slow-release carbohydrate provides sustained energy with a low glycemic index (GI 32) and minimal insulin response. Unlike sucrose, it resists rapid hydrolysis, releasing glucose gradually into the bloodstream. Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Kosher/Halal, it is ideal for functional foods, sports nutrition, and clean-label formulations.
