Isomalt is a kind of functional sugar alcohol emerging internationally in recent years, and it is an excellent substitute for sucrose, starch sugar and other sugar alcohols. The sweetness is 50-60% of that of sucrose, and it has the characteristics of low moisture absorption, high stability, high tolerance, low calories, and pure sweetness. The product is extremely safe, and the US FDA has granted it GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status and does not restrict its daily intake. From a nutritional point of view, isomalt is a carbohydrate. From a physiological point of view, it is not easily decomposed and absorbed in the human body, nor is it decomposed and utilized by most microorganisms. As a substitute for sugar, the product is widely used in the production of sugar-free food, sugar-free health products and sugar-free medicines. Isomalt can be used in candies, beverages and foods. It can be used alone or together with sucrose: It can be used in ice cream, popsicles, candy, pastries, beverages, biscuits, bread, jam (not including canned food), and mixed wines according to production needs.

 Supports Gut Health: Daily intake of 30 g isomalt was demonstrated to promote an increase of the "good" bacteria in the large intestine, the bifidobacteria, demonstrating the prebiotic effect of isomalt. The water-binding property of isomalt may influence the structure of the content of the gut, making it softer. If the consistency of the feces is too soft, it can be regulated by cutting down intake and allowing some time for adaptation. Like dietary fibers, isomalt is broken down by the gut bacteria to so called short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and gases. SCFA have the advantage of decreasing acidity in the large intestine and some SCFA are discussed as being beneficial for a healthy epithelium in the large intestine.

Less Dental Caries Risk: Isomalt is anti-cariogenic and does not promote dental caries, because oral bacteria cannot readily convert it into decay causing acids. Therefore, the acidic conditions that lead to tooth demineralization do not develop after consuming isomalt, as occurs after eating sugar and other fermentable carbohydrates. Furthermore, isomalt cannot be converted by oral bacteria into polyglucan, the substance from which dental plaque is synthesized.
