Autoignition =Isomaltulose (chemical name: 6-0-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructose), also known by the trade names Palatinose and NRGylose or Xtend(tm) Isomaltulose, is a
disaccharide that is commercially produced enzymatically fromsucrose . It is a natural constituent of honey and sugar cane and has a very natural sweet taste. It has been used as a sugar in Japan since 1985. It is particularly suitable as a non-cariogenic sucrose replacement and is favorable in products for diabetics and prediabetic dispositions. [cite journal |author=Lina B, Jonker D, Kozianowski G |title=Isomaltulose (Palatinose): a review of biological and toxicological studies |journal=Food Chem. Toxicol. |volume=40 |issue=10 |pages=1375–81 |year=2002 |pmid=12387299 |doi=10.1016/S0278-6915(02)00105-9]Like sucrose, it is fully digested and provides the same caloric value of approximately 4 kcal/g. Unlike sucrose, isomaltulose is
toothfriendly and digested much slower leading not only to a low glycemic response but as well to a prolonged glucose supply.Fact|date=February 2007 Thus, isomaltulose is a slowly released carbohydrate that therefore provides a more sustained energy supply from food and drinks. An optimal energy supply is a topic of increasing importance in research and product development as this may play a role in health (particularly control of obesity) as well as for physical and mental performance.References
