Product composition and characteristics
Isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMO) are carbohydrates composed of short chains of glucose molecules linked by α(1,6)-glycosidic bonds. They are extracted by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch from plant sources such as corn, tapioca and potatoes. This process results in a syrup high in IMO, which has a sweetness similar to that of sugar, but with a lower calorie profile and prebiotic properties.
IMOs are partially resistant to digestion in the small intestine, meaning they reach the large intestine, where they serve as food for beneficial bacteria, supporting their proliferation and activity. This makes them a valuable component of the diet for maintaining a healthy gut microflora.
Benefits of use
Supporting intestinal microflora
Isomalto-oligosaccharides act as prebiotics, stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the colon. These bacteria play a key role in maintaining a healthy intestinal environment, aiding digestion and strengthening the immune system.
Blood sugar control
Due to their structure, IMOs have a lower glycemic index than regular sugar. This means they cause a slower and less
increase in blood sugar levels after consumption, making them suitable for people with diabetes or those monitoring their blood sugar levels.
Improving digestion
By stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria, IMOs aid digestion and may reduce symptoms like bloating, gas, and constipation. They may also improve the absorption of minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Maintaining a healthy weight
Isomalto-oligosaccharides have a lower caloric value compared to regular sugar and can increase feelings of fullness, which can help control appetite and maintain a healthy weight.
