Isomaltooligosaccharide powder (IMO) is a versatile prebiotic starch sugar, derived from starch materials via enzymatic alterations and refining processes. Known for its superb processing stability and moisture-keeping abilities, IMO is beneficial to digestive health. Its unique properties have made it an essential ingredient in various sectors like baking, confectionery, beverages, dairy, and health products.
Isomaltooligosaccharide Powder Specifications
Isomaltooligosaccharide is available in two forms – IMO-50 and IMO-90, which are distinguished by their isomaltooligosaccharide content. IMO-50 contains 50% isomaltooligosaccharides, while IMO-90 has 90% content. Both forms are offered as powders as well as syrups, providing customers flexibility based on their application needs. The powder specifications require the isomaltooligosaccharide content and moisture levels, along with other quality parameters. Meanwhile, the syrup specifications define attributes such as appearance, solubility, total saccharide content and isomaltooligosaccharide assay. Having both powder and syrup varieties with different concentration levels allows for customization and optimization of IMO applications in food, beverage and supplement products.
The Isomaltooligosaccharide powder is a white powder without peculiar smell or impurities, with moisture content less than 4.0%, ash content less than 0.3%, pH between 4.0-6.0, solubility greater than 99%, assay (dry substance) greater than 99.5%, IMO DP3 (dry substance) greater than 60%, isomaltose less than 30%, sugars (glucose+maltose) less than 10 mg/kg, heavy metals less than 0.1 ppm, total plate count less than 1000 cfu/g, and yeast and mold less than 100 cfu/g. The powder is packaged in 25kg clean kraft paper bags with a 2 year shelf life when stored at room temperature.
IMO powder is produced through a series of enzymatic reactions and purification steps. Starch from crops like wheat and rice is hydrolyzed to break it down into short chain saccharides. Transglycosidase enzymes are then added to catalyze the formation of isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) by converting alpha-1,4 linkages into digestion-resistant alpha-1,6 linkages.
The IMO mixture undergoes purification using chromatography to separate IMOs from other sugars. The purified IMO solution is concentrated into a syrup through evaporation. This syrup is spray dried into a fine powder through hot air streams, which rapidly dry the droplets.
The dried powder particles are milled for uniform size. Strict quality controls are applied. The IMO powder is analyzed to ensure its composition meets standards. Microbiological and chemical testing guarantee its safety and stability.
The high-quality powder is packaged in moisture-proof containers for storage. This optimized process utilizes enzymatic reactions and advanced purification techniques to efficiently produce a consistent IMO powder from starch sources. The stringent quality controls uphold its functional benefits and application versatility.
IMO-50 and IMO-90 are the two specifications popular among our clients in the United States and the rest of the world.
