// Why isomalt here
01
Reformulate without redesign
Isomalt replaces sucrose bulk 1:1, so recipes, processes and packaging stay the same while the label changes.
02
Claims that hold up
GI 9, 2 kcal/g and non-cariogenic are all measurable and documented. Claims are backed by spec sheets and COAs.
03
Crunch and coat
Crystal grade gives cereal clusters and coated snacks a clean, glassy crunch.
// How it performs
Typical values for NT-ST-30 / 80 in this application. Batch COAs and full specification sheets ship with every sample.
Replacement ratio
1:1 for sucrose by weight in most dry and semi-moist applications
Calories
2 kcal/g as labelled in EU and India
Glycaemic index
9, against 65 for sucrose
Water activity
Lowers finished-product aw slightly relative to sucrose
Recommended grade
NT-ST-30 (30 mesh) for coatings and clusters; NT-ST-80 (80 mesh) for dry blends and spreads
// Formulation notes
01
For cereal coatings, dissolve NT-ST-30 in minimal water, coat warm and dry at 90 to 100 °C. The coating sets glassy and stays crisp.
02
For spreads, isomalt gives structure without crystallising out at room temperature; hold total polyol below 40%.
03
Pair with a high-intensity sweetener to match sucrose sweetness where the finished product is eaten as-is.
