Functional Carbohydrates

BENEO's functional carbohydrates, ISOMALT and Palatinoseâ„¢ are ideal ingredients with a balancing effect on blood sugar levels.
- ISOMALT is a non-cariogenic, low-glycaemic and low-caloric sugar replacer derived from sugar beet. It replaces sugar on a 1:1 ratio, with its low-hygroscopic it increases shelf life and brings out flavours and colours in sugar-free hard-boiled candy.
- Palatinoseâ„¢ (isomaltulose) is a more slowly released carbohydrate derived from the sugar beet. It provides its full carbohydrate energy (4kcal/g) in a sustained way and helps to improve fat oxidation during physical activity. In addition to being non-cariogenic and non-hygroscopic, it also guarantees stable osmolality in beverages and is non-hygroscopic.
