Isomaltooligosaccharides IMO – 90% Powder

Isomaltooligosaccharides are glucose oligomers made enzymatically from starch, commonly used as a mildly sweet binder in bars. They are partly digested in the small intestine, so their fibre value is lower than many other oligosaccharides. IMO is offered as a 90% powder.

GUTINS Isomaltooligosaccharides IMO — 90% powder is offered for manufacturers, formulators and brands. Specification: 90% powder; form / technology: Powder / functional ingredient; diet suitability: Generally vegetarian.
