Description
Isomalt (CAS 64519-82-0, E953) is a sugar alcohol derived from sucrose, commercially known under trade names Palatinit and Palatinol. It carries EC number 613-617-0 and the formula C12H24O11, and is classified within the sweeteners and food additives category for use across food, nutrition, and personal care applications.
In food manufacturing, isomalt functions as a bulk sweetener and humectant in sugar-free confectionery, where its low hygroscopicity allows hard candies and coatings to resist moisture uptake and maintain structural integrity. In personal care formulations, it acts as a skin conditioner and humectant by binding water within the stratum corneum, and its chelating capacity helps sequester metal ions that would otherwise destabilize emulsions.
Isomalt is available in powder and granule grades compliant with E953 designation under EU food additive regulations, with specifications aligned to FCC and Ph.Eur. standards. The product falls under HS code 2940006000 and is subject to REACH registration requirements for industrial supply within the European Economic Area.
