Isomalt 'F'

Isomalt is a mixture of two sugar alcohols; gluco mannitol and gluco sorbitol. It is produced from sugar beet and while visually comparable to white table sugar it has only half the sweetness and contains only two calories per gram. As sugar alcohols don’t have a chemical structure that allows for browning reactions Isomalt can be heated without losing sweetness or altering its texture and will not caramelise as sucrose does when heated.
Isomalt provides an increased crispness to baked goods and significantly, is much less hygroscopic (water-absorbing) than table sugar, so products such as tuile, glasses & sugar work wont as readily adsorb moisture and become soft & sticky.
