Core Characteristics Empowering Product Innovation

· · · · ·· · · ·· · · ·· · · ·· · · ·Moderate sweetness with a harmonious flavour profile    

Offering approximately 50% of sucrose's sweetness with a mellow, refined taste, it can be blended with sucrose to enhance sweetness perception and inhibit crystallisation, making it ideal for developing low-sweetness health foods.

· Exceptional processing stability

Demonstrates outstanding acid and heat resistance, maintaining stability at pH 3 and 120°C, suitable for diverse high-temperature and acidic food systems such as baked goods and acidic beverages.

· Moisture retention and anti-staling properties extend shelf life

Possesses excellent moisture-retaining capabilities, effectively preserving food hydration, preventing starch staling, and prolonging the softness and freshness of products like bread and pastries.

· Low water activity aids antimicrobial preservation

Water activity as low as 0.75, which is lower than that of sucrose and common syrups, helps inhibit microbial growth, providing natural auxiliary preservation effects for foods. 

2 Isomalto Oligosaccharide: An exceptional functional ingredient driving healthy food innovation

As a highly regarded functional food ingredient, Isomalto Oligosaccharide offers unique physiological properties that significantly support modern food innovation. Leveraging advanced enzymatic processes, Green Spring Technology supplies high-purity, premium-quality Isomalto Oligosaccharide raw materials, empowering clients to develop healthier, more market-competitive products.

Core functional characteristics deliver diverse application advantages

· Fermentation Resistance for Broad Applications

  IMO is poorly utilised by yeast and lactic acid bacteria, making it suitable for fermented foods (e.g., yoghurt, alcoholic beverages, bread). It maintains functional stability without disrupting fermentation processes while delivering health benefits.

· Oral Health Affinity  

This product is not readily utilised by oral microorganisms, reducing plaque formation. It is suitable for use in confectionery, chocolate, and children's foods, aiding in the development of products more compatible with oral health.

· Difficult to digest and metabolically friendly

Isomaltulose is difficult to break down by human digestive enzymes, does not affect blood glucose or insulin levels, and serves as an ideal sweetener alternative for low GI foods. It is suitable for health food concepts such as sugar control and low-calorie products.

· Promotes Beneficial Bacterial Proliferation and Balances Gut Health

IMO aids the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, supporting microbial balance. Widely applicable in beverages, dairy products, health supplements and dietary supplements, it infuses products with gut health technology.

3 Isomalto Oligosaccharide: A Multifunctional Food Ingredient Empowering New Healthy and Delicious Experiences

Isomaltulose (IMO) is a functional oligosaccharide offering a refreshing taste, excellent thermal stability, and resistance to browning. With lower sweetness than sucrose and minimal fermentation potential, it possesses suitable viscosity and superior water-holding capacity. Its versatility enables broad application across sauces, beverages, frozen treats, dairy products, baked goods, confectionery, and jams, expanding product development possibilities.

This ingredient promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and demonstrates excellent processing adaptability. In Japan, Isomalto Oligosaccharide has become a key component in numerous health foods and conventional products, with mature market applications exceeding annual consumption of ten thousand tonnes. Offering high cost-effectiveness, it stands as one of the most promising functional sweetening agents currently available.

Presently, Isomalto Oligosaccharide garners significant attention within the food industry due to its positive impact on gut microbiota. Beneficial bacteria in the human gut may gradually shift with age, while somalto Oligosaccharide helps maintain gut microbiota balance, supporting overall health.

Green Spring Technology leverages advanced enzymatic processes to produce high-purity, premium-quality Isomalto Oligosaccharide. Our stable, easy-to-use product suits diverse health food and general food systems, empowering clients to develop nutritious, delicious offerings that better meet modern consumer demands.
