FAQs

VitaClassic is a natural sweetener with prebiotic properties, produced via highly controlled enzyme-catalyzed process transforming starch molecules into functional health molecules of IMO (isomalto-oligosaccharides). Our patented manufacturing process controls the glucose chain lengths and the alpha(1-6) linkages to ensure consistent high quality IMO from various starch sources like tapioca and peas.

Our customers love using VitaClassic as a sugar substitute and binding ingredient in their baked goods and bars! Or pour it directly onto your oatmeal and pancakes for a delicious sweet treat.

Given its bulk density being similar to sugar, VitaClassic works as a 1:1 replacement in baked goods with only the need to increase sweetness. This can be done by using high intensity sweeteners or adding in "visual" sweeteners such as more chocolate chips to assist in product differentiation.

VitaClassic exhibits a light delicate taste with sweetness compared to sugar (sucrose) ~50-60%.

No, being that it is only 50-60% as sweet as sucrose, it is not. One of the greatest assets of VitaClassic is its synergy with high intensity sweeteners like Stevia, Aspartame, and Sucralose. VitaClassic helps mitigate off flavours in addition to its ability to be blended with them!

According to the FDA-GRAS document, IMO (isomalto-oligosaccharides) is proposed for use at use-levels of up to 15 grams per (self affirmed 40gm/day). Moreover, the published scientific studies suggested that IMO with 35-40g/day won't produce any gastric distention. IMO is much more tolerated in higher doses in comparison to FOS, GOS and inulin.

The possibilities are endless! Our customers love to use VitaClassic in baked goods and to top off their morning oatmeal or pancakes. If you need inspirations, head over to our Recipes page and find your next creation!
