Organic Isomalto Oligosaccharide

What is Organic Isomalto Oligosaccharide?

Organic Isomalto Oligosaccharide (IMO) is a naturally occurring mixture of short-chain carbohydrates, produced through enzymatic hydrolysis of organic starch. It’s recognized for its dual functionality as a low-calorie sweetener with approximately 50-60% the sweetness of sucrose, and as a potent prebiotic fiber. This combination makes it an excellent choice for enhancing both the nutritional profile and taste of various food and beverage products. We offer Organic Isomalto Oligosaccharide in two convenient forms to suit diverse manufacturing needs: powder and syrup.
