Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) is a natural functional oligosaccharide, formed by glucose linked through α-1,6 glycosidic bonds, which is widely present in fermented foods. With mild sweetness, only 40%-50% of sucrose, it has a fresh and non-greasy taste without bitter aftertaste.
It is not decomposed by human digestive enzymes, low in calories and does not raise blood sugar, making it a high-quality prebiotic raw material. It can effectively promote the proliferation of beneficial intestinal bacteria, regulate the balance of intestinal microecology, enhance intestinal peristalsis. At the same time, it has good water solubility, stability and compatibility, not easy to agglomerate and easy to dissolve. It is widely used in dairy products, beverages, baked goods, health products, candies, instant foods and other fields. It can replace part of sucrose, helping to create low-sugar and healthy food formulas, with both prebiotic function and flavoring value.

Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) is a natural prebiotic dietary fiber and low-calorie sweetener. It is composed of glucose molecules linked through α-1,6 glycosidic bonds, which makes it resistant to human digestive enzymes.
IMO provides a mild, clean, and fresh sweetness that is approximately 40% to 50% of the sweetness of sucrose (regular sugar), without any bitter or unpleasant aftertaste.
As a prebiotic, IMO passes through the upper digestive tract largely intact and reaches the colon. There, it serves as a nutrient source to selectively promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria, helping to balance the intestinal microecology and improve bowel motility.
Yes. Since IMO is not easily broken down by human digestive enzymes, it has a low glycemic index and does not cause rapid spikes in blood sugar, making it ideal for formulating low-glycemic and sugar-reduced food formulations.
IMO is highly versatile due to its heat and acid stability. It is commonly used in beverages, dairy products, bakery items, nutritional bars, health supplements, candies, and instant foods.
