Isomalt
Description
Isomalt (CAS 64519-82-0 ), also known by its food additive designation E953 , is a sugar alcohol derived from sucrose used as a bulk sweetener and sugar replacer in food manufacturing. It delivers sweetness at roughly half the intensity of sucrose while contributing minimal impact on blood glucose, making it a preferred ingredient in reduced-sugar and diabetic-friendly product development. In confectionery, isomalt is the industry standard for sugar-free hard candies, lollipops, and pulled sugar decorations due to its low hygroscopicity and high heat stability. These properties allow clean molding and extended shelf life. Chewing gum, chocolate coatings, and compressed tablet confections use it as a bulk filler to replace sucrose without compromising texture or mouthfeel. Pharmaceutical tablet manufacturers use isomalt as a direct compression excipient and coating agent in sugar-free lozenges and chewable tablets. It provides excellent structural integrity for various dosage forms. In personal care, it functions as a humectant in oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash, where it supports moisture retention without contributing to tooth decay or dental cavities. Isomalt is supplied as a white crystalline powder or granules, with particle size variants available to suit direct compression or coating applications. Standard commercial grades include food-grade meeting FCC specifications. Pharmaceutical-grade options are also available, fully compliant with Ph. Eur. and USP monographs to ensure the highest levels of purity and safety for sensitive medical and nutritional applications. Contact us for supply of Isomalt Request Quote
