Product Introduction of Isomaltooligosaccharide
Isomaltooligosaccharide Powder, shortened as IMO Powder, is a plant-derived soluble prebiotic oligosaccharide independently produced by Xi'an Dowell Healthy via dual enzymatic hydrolysis and transglycosylation technology using non-GMO corn or tapioca starch as raw materials. Distinguished from ordinary digestible maltose, its molecular skeleton is connected by stable α-1,6 glycosidic bonds, which human small intestinal digestive enzymes cannot decompose completely, so the whole active ingredient reaches the colon intact to feed beneficial flora.
Our flagship 90% purity IMO fine powder presents uniform pale yellow or off-white granular texture with soft natural sweetness, only 40%-50% of sucrose sweetness without bitter aftertaste. Compared with FOS and inulin prebiotics, our IMO delivers superior gastrointestinal tolerance with minimal bloating risk even under high daily dosage. It owns ultra-low glycemic index without sharp blood sugar elevation, becoming a versatile clean-label sweetener and dietary fiber additive for global food, nutraceutical and pet feed manufacturers.
Strictly produced under closed dust-free GMP workshops, each batch undergoes full HPLC quantitative testing, heavy metal detection and microbial limit inspection complying with China GB food standards, FDA GRAS and EU Novel Food regulatory requirements. Sealed storage under cool dark environment supports a 24-month stable shelf life without active ingredient degradation. We also support customized 50% medium-purity IMO powder for special formula development upon custom requests.

Frequently Asked Questions About Isomaltooligosaccharide
Q1: What raw starch sources do you adopt for producing IMO powder?
A: We mainly use non-GMO corn starch and tapioca starch as raw materials, no wheat raw materials to avoid gluten risk, all raw material batches provide non-GMO test reports for global food certification submission.
Q2: Can 90% IMO powder be fully dissolved in cold water?
A: Yes, our IMO fine powder owns excellent cold-water solubility; it can dissolve rapidly in room temperature water without obvious insoluble residue, suitable for cold drink and instant powder production without high-temperature pre-dissolution process.
Q3: What is the maximum safe daily intake of IMO for adult human beings?
A: Authorized by FDA GRAS and EU Novel Food standards, the recommended daily safe intake for healthy adults is within 30g. New consumers with low-fiber daily diet can start with 5–10g per day to adapt intestinal flora gradually.
Q4: Is this IMO powder gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian compliant?
A: Absolutely. The whole production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing grains, no animal-derived raw materials or additives added. It meets vegan, vegetarian and clean label food production standards, and we can provide gluten-free certification upon request.
Q5: How long is your production lead time after deposit payment?
A: Standard production cycle is 7 working days after deposit confirmation. For orders over 10 tons, we arrange priority production to shorten delivery time; we can provide accurate production schedule according to order quantity.
Q6: Can IMO powder replace total sucrose in sugar-free food formula?
A: It can partially or fully replace sucrose. Its sweetness reaches 40%-50% of table sugar, and it has moisturizing, anti-crystallization characteristics. If you need stronger sweetness, we support compound matching with allulose, erythritol and other natural sweeteners.
Q7: What storage environment is required for bulk 25kg drum IMO powder?
A: Keep tightly sealed, store in cool, dry, dark warehouse with relative humidity below 60%, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature above 30℃. Once opened, finish using within 3 months and re-seal tightly to prevent moisture agglomeration.
Q8: What shipping methods do you offer for IMO powder orders of different weights?
A: 1. Sample & small orders under 100kg: Door-to-door international express, delivery time 3–5 working days; 2.
