IMO Syrup

IMO Syrup (Isomalto-Oligosaccharide), Soluble Fibre from Tapioca Starch, Natural Sweetener, Sugar Substitute.

 

What is IMO Syrup?

IMO Syrup is a high-maltose syrup made up of a mixture of short-chain carbohydrates.  IMO is short for Isomalto-Oligosaccharide and it is a natural product made from soluble Tapioca Starch.  (Tapioca is starch obtained from the root of cassava, a plant that mostly grows underground, like a potato).

Isomalto-Oligosaccharides are a normal part of the human diet and occur naturally in fermented foods such as rice miso, soy sauce, and sake.  IMO Syrup can be a sweet-tasting (high-density) syrup, or spray-dried into powder form.

IMO Syrup is used mostly as a source of dietary fibre.  However, IMO Syrup is also used as a low-calorie sweetener in a variety of foods like bakery and cereal products.  Since IMO Syrup is about 50% as sweet as sugar, it cannot replace sugar in a one-to-one ratio.

In recent years, IMO Syrup has become an important ingredient for creating healthy processed foods like protein bars.  It’s often marketed as a sweet-tasting, zero-calorie prebiotic fibre that has essentially zero effect on blood sugar.

To make IMO Syrup from tapioca, it is dissolved in water and enzymes, acid, or both are added.  The mixture is heated, causing long glucose chains to break into smaller chains.  This process ends with a syrup.

IMO Syrup is also dairy-free, gluten-free, allergen-free, vegan with no preservatives, artificial colours or Flavors.

IMO Syrup is an ideal sugar substitute with a sweet taste, but contains fewer calories per gram than natural sugar.  It also has a positive health effect on the human digestive system.  It works as a prebiotic, decreases flatulence, prevents tooth decay, and has a low glycaemic index.
