isomalt and its Impurities
Isomalt is widely used for the production of sugar-free candy, especially hard-boiled candy, because it resists crystallization much better than the standard combinations of sucrose and corn syrup. It can be blended with high-intensity sweeteners such as sucralose, giving a mixture that has the same sweetness as sugar. Reference standards of Isomalt API,and its pharmacopeial, non pharmacopeial impurities, and stable isotopes are listed below.
