CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Odourless, white, slightly hygroscopic, crystalline mass. |
|---|---|
| Taste | Pure sweet taste (sweetening power =0.45 relative to sucrose in about a 10% solution) |
| Solubility | Soluble in water, very slightly soluble in ethanol. |
| Stability/Shelf Life | Isomalt has very good thermal and chemical stability. When it is melted, no changes in the molecular structure are observed. |
| Optical Rotation | Specific rotation: +89.8 deg to +92.2 deg |
| Decomposition | /Isomalt/ exhibits considerable resistance to acids and microbial influences. ... Isomalt does not undrego browning reactions; it has no reducing groups, and therefore it does not react with other ingredients in a formulation. |
| Viscosity | In the melt, has a lower viscosity, higher specific heat capacity, and higher boiling-point elevation than sucrose |
| Other Experimental Properties | Water content <7% ... has a lower viscosity, higher specific heat capacity, and higher boiling-point elevation than sucrose ... The components are hydrolyzed to give 1 mol each of glucose and sorbitol or mannitol |

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
(2xi)-6-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-arabino-hexitol is a glycosyl alditol consisting of alpha-D-glucopyranose and (2xi)-D-arabino-hexitol residues joined in sequence by a (1->1) glycosidic bond. It is functionally related to an alpha-D-glucose.
