Isomaltulose (chemical name: 6-0-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructose), also known by the trade names Palatinose and NRGylose or Xtend(tm) Isomaltulose, is a disaccharide that is commercially produced enzymatically from sucrose. It is a natural constituent of honey and sugar cane and has a very natural sweet taste. It has been used as a sugar in Japan since 1985. It is particularly suitable as a non-cariogenic sucrose replacement and is favorable in products for diabetics and prediabetic dispositions.
