Postbiotics and Isomaltooligosaccharides Open Up New Fields of Candy

Isomaltooligosaccharides have similar processing characteristics to sucrose or starch syrup, and have broad prospects in the development of functional candy

Isomalt oligosaccharide is also known as isomalt oligosaccharide, isomalt oligosaccharide, etc.

Isomaltooligosaccharide can effectively promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria Bifidobacterium in the human body, also known as "Bifidobacterium growth promoting factor" (prebiotic), referred to as "Bifidobacterium factor"

Studies have shown that isomaltose is a kind of prebiotic with good physiological functions

It can also reduce the pH of the intestine by producing short-chain fatty acids through fermentation, thereby inhibiting the growth of harmful intestinal bacteria, proliferating bifidobacteria, and improving the availability of minerals

Isomalt oligosaccharide (powder) has appropriate viscosity and is suitable for candy production.

Isomalt oligosaccharide also has good moisturizing and anti-crystallization properties, which can prevent other sugars from returning to sand.

As a postbiotic that complements and complements each other with prebiotics, it also has excellent physical properties such as high temperature resistance and strong acid resistance, and also has the physiological activity of probiotics

With the improvement of consumer health demand, functional candies with health care effects will continue to grow steadily and will become one of the main trends in the development of the candy market, and the application of postbiotics and isomalt oligosaccharides in candy development will also be more widespread
