Products Description
Palatinose is an isomer of sucrose produced from sucrose through enzymatic conversion and refinement using α-glucosyltransferase. It is a sweetener developed through biotechnology and enzyme engineering that modifies the properties of sucrose. As a natural nutritional sugar, it helps reduce the negative effects associated with excessive sucrose consumption.
Also known as isomaltulose, Palatinose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose linked via an α-1,6 bond. It is formed when glucosyltransferase rearranges the original α-1,2 linkage between glucose and fructose in sucrose into an α-1,6 linkage. Structurally, it differs from sucrose only in the bonding position of glucose and fructose, making it a true sucrose isomer.
Palatinose appears as white, odorless crystals with a molecular weight of 360.32 and contains one mole of crystal water. It has a melting point of 124°C, a specific rotation of [α]20 97.2, is non- or weakly hygroscopic, and exhibits lower solubility and viscosity compared to sucrose. It is also acid-resistant. Currently, it is produced from sucrose using immobilized cell (enzyme) biotechnological methods.

Product Application of Palatinose
Palatinose is characterized by low sweetness, non-hygroscopicity, acid resistance, and resistance to utilization by yeast and certain microorganisms. It does not contribute to dental caries and can also be consumed by individuals with diabetes, while maintaining a taste profile similar to sucrose.
As a result, Palatinose can partially or fully replace sucrose in a wide range of food and beverage products, including cold drinks, cakes, concentrated juices, candies, preserved fruits, jams, blended wines, biscuits, and bread.
In the human body, Palatinose is gradually broken down into glucose and fructose by enzymes in the small intestine, allowing slow absorption and metabolism. This helps maintain stable blood glucose levels, with minimal impact on insulin response, making it suitable for diabetic consumption.
In addition, as a non-cariogenic sweetener, it is also appropriate for infants and adolescents who require controlled sugar intake during growth and development.
