CAS 499-40-1: Isomaltose
Description:Isomaltose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose units linked by an α(1→6) glycosidic bond. It is a non-reducing sugar, meaning it does not have a free aldehyde or ketone group that can participate in redox reactions. Isomaltose is typically derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch and is commonly found in certain food products, particularly those containing malted ingredients. It is known for its sweetness, which is approximately 50-60% that of sucrose, and is often used as a sugar substitute in various food applications due to its lower caloric content and favorable glycemic index. Isomaltose is soluble in water, and its stability under heat makes it suitable for use in cooking and baking. Additionally, it has applications in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in formulations where a non-reducing sugar is desired. Overall, isomaltose is valued for its functional properties in both food science and health-related applications.
