What Is Isomaltulose?
Isomaltulose (also known as palatinose) is a naturally occurring disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose linked by an α-1,6-glycosidic bond. It is an isomer of sucrose and is typically produced through enzymatic conversion using Protaminobacter rubrum sucrose isomerase. Due to its slower digestion rate and low glycemic index, isomaltulose is widely recognized as a functional carbohydrate with valuable nutritional and metabolic benefits.

Importance of Isomaltulose:
🔸Nutritional Functionality: Provides a sustained energy supply with a moderate blood glucose response, suitable for diabetic and sports nutrition products.
🔸Food Industry Applications: Used as a sugar alternative in beverages, energy bars, and dairy formulations due to its stability and mild sweetness.
🔸Metabolic Research: Serves as a model compound in studies investigating carbohydrate metabolism, insulin regulation, and glycemic control.
🔸Industrial Biotechnology: Monitoring isomaltulose production and purity is critical in enzymatic conversion and fermentation-based manufacturing.
Precise quantification and characterization of isomaltulose are essential for optimizing production processes, ensuring product quality, and understanding its metabolic effects.

Q4: How Should I Prepare My Samples?
1. Liquid samples (fermentation or reaction mixtures): Centrifuge or filter to remove particulates, then store at –20°C or 4°C depending on stability.
2. Solid samples (sugar powders or dried materials): Keep in airtight, moisture-proof containers at room temperature.
3. Food or beverage samples: Avoid preservatives or additives that may interfere with detection; record composition details if available.
4. Biological samples: Freeze immediately after collection and store at –80°C until shipment.
Samples should be transported on dry ice or with ice packs to maintain stability during shipping. For more information, please refer to Sample Submission Guidelines for Proteomics and Sample Submission Guidelines for Metabolomics
