Isomaltooligosaccharide Powder

Product Description

What Is Isomaltooligosaccharide？

Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) is a prebiotic, fiber-like carbohydrate that acts as a low-calorie sweetener and contributes to gut health by feeding beneficial gut bacteria. Found naturally in foods like honey, soy sauce, and miso, Isomaltooligosaccharide is also commercially produced from starch through enzymatic processes. It’s used as a functional food ingredient in products such as energy bars and supplements, offering prebiotic effects and a sweetness approximately 60% of sugar.

With a lower calorie content than sugar and a moderate sweetness, Isomaltooligosaccharide serves as an alternative sweetener and dietary fiber in food products.

Isomaltooligosaccharides Benefits

• Benefits for Digestive Health

Prebiotic Effects:
