  • Applications

    Isomaltohexose (CAS 6175-02-6) is an oligosaccharide used as a sugar replacer and bulking agent in food processing, with applications in bakery, confectionery, dairy, and beverages to adjust texture and moisture; it is often evaluated as a functional ingredient with potential prebiotic effects in functional foods; in cosmetics and personal care it can serve as a humectant and texture modifier; in animal feed it provides a fermentable carbohydrate source; and in certain industrial formulations it can act as a processing aid or stabilizer.
