- IMO #90 powder
Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) rarely exist in a free state in nature, but as a component of branched starch or polysaccharides. The industrial production of oligosaccharides using starch as raw material requires an enzyme, which is α-glucosidase, also known as glucosyltransferase, or α-glycosidase for short. It can cut the α-1,6 glycosidic bond in the molecular structure of maltose and maltooligosaccharides, and can transfer a free glucose residue to the α-1,6 position in another glucose molecule or maltose or maltotriose, forming isomaltose, isomaltotriose, isomaltotetraose, isomaltopentose and panose, etc.
