Description:
Isomalt is a unique, excellent tasting sugar-free sweetener. Because the same amount of Isomalt is used in products as would be used if they were sweetened with sugar, Isomalt-containing products have the same appearance and texture as those made with sugar.
Discovered in the 1960s, Isomalt is made from sucrose and looks much like table sugar. It is white, crystalline and odorless. Isomalt is a mixture of two disaccharide alcohols-gluco mannitol and gluco sorbitol.
Isomalt has been used in the United States for several years in products such as hard candies, toffee, lollipops, fudge, wafers, cough drops and throat lozenges. It has been available in Europe, however, since the early 1980s and is currently used in a wide variety of products in more than 40 countries worldwide.
