Isomalt

Isomalt is a food ingredient that is commonly used in a variety of food products. It is a type of sugar substitute that is derived from beet sugar. Isomalt is known for its low-calorie content and its ability to mimic the taste and texture of sugar in food products.

Isomalt is made through a process where regular sugar is transformed into a different type of sugar alcohol. This process involves adding enzymes to sugar, which results in a product that has fewer calories than regular sugar. The final product, isomalt, is then used as a sweetener in many food items.

Isomalt is often included in food products to provide sweetness without the calories that come from regular sugar. It can also help improve the texture of foods and increase their shelf life. You can find isomalt in a variety of items such as sugar-free candies, chocolates, and baked goods as a way to reduce the total sugar content while maintaining a sweet taste.
