Product Detail

What is Isomalto-oligosaccharide

Isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) is a naturally derived functional oligosaccharide composed of glucose units linked by α-(1→6) glycosidic bonds, with occasional α-(1→4) linkages. Produced primarily through enzymatic hydrolysis of starch (typically from corn, rice, or tapioca), IMO is classified as a prebiotic due to its resistance to human digestive enzymes—meaning it reaches the colon intact to nourish beneficial gut bacteria. 
The sweetness of isomalto-oligosaccharide is oapproximately 50% that of sucrose, the caloric content is extremely low (2kal/g), making it popular ingredient in functional food & beverage, dietary supplements, and even pet nutritions. Additionally, isomalto-oligosaccharide has good heat stability (up to 120℃),  and solubility across a wide range of pH (3.0-7.0). Recent years, IMO has emerged as one core ingredient in clean-lable products, valued for its natural origin and science-backed health benefits.

Isomalto-oligosaccharide Benefits

Prebiotic & Gut Health Support

Selectively stimulates the growth and activity of probiotic bacteria, particularly Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species, increasing their populations by 10–100 fold in the colon. In addition, during the fermentation of IMO, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate is produced, which can strengthen the intestinal mucosal barrier, reduce inflammation, and inhibit pathogenic bacteria (e.g., E. coli). Moreover, according to clinical studies, 5-10g daily intake of IMO can increase stool frequency by 20% - 30%.

Diabetic-friendly & Low Calories

The glycemic index (GI) of IMO is of less than 30 while GI of Sucrose reaches 65, and IMO does not increase blood sugar levels, making it suitable for diabetics and low-carb diets. Besides, with calories of only 2kal/g, it helps reduce overall intake of calories, suitable for weight management food & beverage products. Also, SCFAs generated during IMO production process can enhance calcium, magnesium, and iron absorption by 15-20%, supporting bone health and reducing nutrients deficiencies.

Dental & Functional Benefits

IMO has function of preventing tooth decay with dissabilitty of being metabolized by oral bacteria (e.g., Streptococcus mutans), making it ideal for oral care products and childrens' foods.In baked products and candies procedure, IMO can be used as one humectant and texturizer to improve moisture retention and prevent crystallization in candies

Isomalto-oligosaccharide Applications

Based on mentioned above, IMO is widely used in baked food such as bread, cookies, and pastries (3- 8% of flour weight) as one particial sugar replacement, enhacing moisture retention and extending shelf life by 30% - 50%. As for beverages like functional drinks, sports drinks(1-3g/serving), and herbal teas for gut health. In low-sugar confectionaries, like candies, chocolates, and chewing gums(5-10% usage) for sweetness without causing tooth decay. Additionally, indiary and plant-based products, IMO is used to boost prebiotic content, improve texture, and maintain low-sugar characteristics.
