Ingredient Overview
Isomalt is made from sucrose and consists of two polyol components. It is widely used in confectionery, particularly hard candies, where bulk and sugar-like texture are important.
Its use in hard confectionery draws on its ability to provide a sugar-like solid structure. The two polyol components together influence the behaviour of the ingredient. Isomalt can be explored in candies and decorative confectionery where a stable, shaped sweet material is part of the product design.
