Isomaltulose
Palatinose® is the patented name for isomaltulose. This carbohydrate is a derivative of a natural source of sucrose. Palatinose® is made by enzymatic rearrangement of the alpha-1,2 bond between the glucose and the fructose molecule to an alpha-1,6 bond (cf. molecular structure).
The result of the aforementioned rearrangement is an extremely slow carbohydrate which allows an even better distribution of the energy supply in our body. Palatinose® was recognized in the EU in 2005 as Novel Food.
