Palatinit
Palatinose™, a new functional carbohydrate from PALATINIT, has been approvedby the European Commission for use in the European Union (EU) in all foods and beverages. In the US, Palatinose has generally- regarded-as-safe (GRAS) status, making it suitable for use in foods and beverages here as well. Palatinose™, also known under the generic name isomaltulose, is a unique sugar that can help reduce the low glycemic and low insulin response of foods. Palatinose is exclusively derived from sucrose and can be found as a natural constituent of honey and sugar cane. Like sucrose, it is fully digested, providing the same calories. Unlike sucrose, Palatinose is tooth-friendly and digested much more slowly. Palatinose is a slowly released carbohydrate that provides a ‘better energy' in food and dairy drinks.
