CAS 35997-20-7: isomaltotetraose
Description:Isomaltotetraose is a carbohydrate, specifically a tetrasaccharide composed of four glucose units linked together by α(1→6) glycosidic bonds. It is a member of the isomalto-oligosaccharides family, which are derived from the enzymatic breakdown of starch. Isomaltotetraose is characterized by its sweet taste, although it is less sweet than sucrose. It is soluble in water and exhibits low hygroscopicity, making it stable under various conditions. This compound is of interest in food science and nutrition due to its prebiotic properties, which can promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Additionally, isomaltotetraose has applications in the food industry as a sugar substitute and in the formulation of low-calorie products. Its CAS number, 35997-20-7, is a unique identifier that facilitates the tracking and regulation of this substance in scientific and commercial contexts. Overall, isomaltotetraose is valued for its functional properties and potential health benefits.
