Palatinit - Sugar Replacers for Sugar-Free Food Processing

PALATINIT GmbH is a member of the Südzucker Group, the world's largest sugar producer. PALATINIT is the market leader in specialist sugar replacers, developing and promoting ISOMALT, a key ingredient in sugarfree candies. PALATINIT has recently introduced the new functional carbohydrate palatinose™ for use in the food and beverages market.

ISOMALT – SUGAR BEET SUGAR SUBSTITUTE

Made from pure sugar beet, ISOMALT is the only sugar replacer that tastes as naturally sweet as sugar. ISOMALT is tooth-friendly, calorie-reduced, low lycemic and is a perfect ingredient for sugar-free and / or functional products.

ISOMALT's very low hygroscopicity produces candies that remain non-sticky even under hot and humid conditions. ISOMALT candies are easy to store and package, as they do not require individual wrapping. ISOMALT replaces sugar in a ratio of 1:1 in the production process, ensuring that only minor amendments are needed for an easy change from sugar to sugar-free status.

PALATINIT's ISOMALT-Family enables manufacturers to choose the most effective and suitable variant for their specific food processing application.

ISOMALT ST is an all-round product that can be used in all sugar-free applications and which is particularly suitable for crunchy baked goods and hard boilings.

ISOMALT GS is a specialist sugar replacer for all coatings, including chewing gum dragées or chewy candies. ISOMALT GS is also perfect for use in no-sugar fruit spreads.

ISOMALT DC is tailor-made for direct compressible products such as tablets and mini-mints.

ISOMALT LM guarantees superior no-sugar chocolate manufacture.

ISOMALT LM delivers good snap and fine melting behaviour during consumption without any cooling effect.

palatinose™- LOW GLYCEMIC CARBOHYDRATE IN GLUCOSE FORM

palatinose™ is a low caloric, healthy sugar also known under the generic name isomaltulose. A disaccharide derived from sucrose, palatinose™has a natural mild sweet taste and is fully digestible. Unlike sucrose, palatinose™ does not cause tooth decay and is digested much more slowly, resulting in a low glycemic and low insulinemic response. palatinose™ provides the human body with a prolonged, glucose-based source of energy.palatinose™ can aid the consumer's efforts to reduce over-eating by preventing peaks and troughs in blood sugar and blood insulin levels. Whereas high insulinemic diets containing regular sugars favour fat storage and may even lead to insulin resistance and obesity, low insulinemic diets promote the mobilization of fat and the use of fatty acids as a source of energy.

PALATINIT's palatinose™ can be used to develop great tasting wellness, sports and functional products for the food and beverage industries. palatinose™ provides an optimal, long-lasting energy supply either as instant formulas or in a ready-to-drink form. palatinose™ can be used to develop healthy breakfast and dairy drinks and enhanced instant teas and coffees. Technical trials have shown the suitability for palatinose™ to be used in cereal and nutrition bars as well as in chocolate / chocolate coatings.
