What is Organic Isomaltitol Powder?
Organic Isomaltitol Powder is a plant-derived sugar alcohol produced from certified organic non-GMO starches (e.g., tapioca or corn) through enzymatic conversion. With 2.4 kcal/g and a glycemic index (GI) of <2, this prebiotic sweetener provides 50-60% of sucrose’s sweetness while supporting gut health and clean-label innovation.
Key Highlights
- Functional Sweetness:
- Low-Calorie: 2.4 kcal/g (vs. sugar’s 4 kcal/g) – ideal for weight management.
- Prebiotic Fiber: Feeds beneficial gut bacteria (Bifidobacteria spp.).
- Organic & Clean Processing:
- USDA/EU Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and allergen-free.
- No residual solvents or synthetic additives.
- Technical Superiority:
- High Solubility: ≥98% in water (20°C).
- Thermal Stability: Up to 180°C (356°F) – perfect for baking.

FAQs
Q: How does isomaltitol differ from erythritol?
A: Isomaltitol has prebiotic benefits and higher thermal stability, but slightly more calories (2.4 vs. 0.2 kcal/g).
Q: Safe for diabetics?
A: Yes! GI <2 ensures no blood sugar spikes.
Q: Laxative effect?
A: Tolerated better than maltitol – safe up to 30g/day for most adults.
Q: Can it replace sugar 1:1?
A: For bulk/texture: yes. For sweetness: use 1.5x more isomaltitol.
