So-called isomalto-oligosaccharides are a mixture of isomaltose, panose, isomaltotriose and anomalously linked oligosaccharides composed of four and five glucose units. Isomalt500 is a commercial product of isomalto-oligosaccharides containing about 50% of so-called isomalto-oligosaccharides and has many favorable properties for application to food industry.
It is mildly sweet, about half the degree of sweetness to sucrose in the same concentration has high moisture-retaining capacity, low water activity convenient in controlling microbial contammation, is less fermentable for yeast, and so on.
Recently, we have investigated the effect of isomalto-oligosaccharides as a physiologically functional food, one of them was the effect on human fecal flora, and another was the dental series inhibitory effect.
In this investigation, we used higher content containing about 90% of so-called isomalto-oligosaccharides named Isomalt900 prepared by chromatograplue separation from Isomalt500.
Isomalt900 was utilized by Bifidobacteria classified as beneficial intestinal bacteria, but was not utilized by E.coli or most of Clostridium species which are unfavorable for humans in terms of both health and nutrition.
After the administration of Isomalt900 to humans, the numbers of Bifidobacteria in the leccs increased and the consistency of leccs was improved.
On the other hand, the intake of sucrose containing foodstuffs is related to the development of dental caries in humans. Several type of sweeteners have been developed as sucrose substitutes in prevent dental caries in humans.
The effects of Isomalt900 on glucan synthesis and sucrose dependent cell adherence by St. mulans were investigated comparing it with these sucrose substitutes. Isomalt900 effectively inhibited water insoluble glucan symbiosis and sucrose dependent cell adherence by St. mulans strains and sucrose-dependent adherence of various St. mulans strains cell.
These studies may support the usefulness of isomalto-oligosaccharides as components of new healthy foodstuffs. Many applications of isomalto-oligosaccharides in the food industry are now rapidly developing.
