ISOMALT is a sugar replacer consisting of disaccharide alcohols. It is the only sugar replacer derived exclusively from beet sugar. ISOMALT is manufactured in a two-stage process in which sugar is first transformed into isomaltulose, a reducing disaccharide (6-0-alpha-D-glucopyranosido-D-fructose), which is then hydrogenated, using a metal catalyst. 

ISOMALT is a white, crystalline substance containing about 5% water of crystallisation. It is available in a wide range of particle sizes – from granulate to powder – to suit any application.
