Ingredient Overview
Isomaltooligosaccharides are a mixture of short glucose-based carbohydrate chains produced from starch. Their composition is described by the individual saccharides as well as the overall IMO content.
The mixture contains several small carbohydrate components rather than a single uniform molecule. That composition influences how an IMO ingredient contributes sweetness and solids to a recipe. Powder and liquid forms can be considered for food development according to the balance of dry handling, texture and sweetness required.
