Tapioca Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) 90% Powder

Tapioca Isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) 90% Powder is a prebiotic carbohydrate derived from non-GMO tapioca starch. It is a white powder with a mild, neutral sweetness that dissolves easily in water. Because its alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkages resist digestion in the small intestine, the product reaches the colon largely intact, where it serves as a selective fuel for beneficial gut bacteria while contributing little to blood sugar. The tapioca origin gives it a clean, allergen-friendly positioning free from corn and gluten, which is increasingly valued in premium and free-from markets. As a low-glycemic sweetener and prebiotic fiber in one, it supports both sugar reduction and digestive health claims. Manufactured to GB/T 20881-2017 food-grade standards with a 24-month shelf life, it offers formulators a dependable, clean-label prebiotic for bars, beverages and functional foods worldwide. It is packed in multi-layer kraft paper bags with food-grade PE inner liners, net 25 kg, and keeps for 24 months stored in a clean, ventilated place away from direct sunlight. It dissolves clear in water, so it suits both ready-to-drink and powder-mix formats. In practice it softens protein bars and baked snacks while replacing syrup, and it stays soft through shelf life without recrystallizing. Its clean taste also suits chocolate- and vanilla-flavored products. Consistent batch-to-batch quality is maintained through defined raw-material sourcing and in-process control, protecting formula stability for industrial buyers. How Tapioca IMO works: the same alpha-1,6 linked oligosaccharide structure as corn-based IMO is built from tapioca starch, a root crop that grows without genetic modification and is naturally free of the major allergens. The digestion-resistant linkages send most of the molecule to the colon, where it feeds beneficial bacteria, while the small digested portion provides a gentle sweetness and a lower glycemic impact than sucrose. The tapioca origin adds a clean-label dimension: non-GMO, allergen-friendly and culturally suitable for markets where corn is scrutinized. Practical guidance: tapioca IMO behaves like a light syrup in formulation - it binds and softens bars, adds sheen and chew to gummies, and sweetens beverages without a syrupy texture; it is added at the same point as corn syrup or glucose syrup in existing recipes; in dry mixes it is a free-flowing powder; and its neutral taste allows flavors such as chocolate, vanilla and fruit to stay true. Quality assurance: produced to GB/T 20881-2017 with oligosaccharide content, moisture, pH, heavy-metal and microbiological testing per batch, all documented for buyer qualification. Packed in 25 kg bags with food-grade PE liners and a 24-month shelf life, it is supplied with stable lead times for bar, beverage and snack manufacturers. Specification highlights: it is packed in 25kg/bag with a minimum order quantity of 1000kg. Certificates of analysis accompany every shipment, and sample supply, specification customization and flexible payment terms are available for qualified buyers, supported by the standardized seven-step service process from inquiry to after-sales support. Compliance and quality at a glance: the product is manufactured under the standards referenced in its specification sheet, and every batch is tested for identity, purity, heavy metals and microbiology before release. Batch records, test reports and certificates are kept and supplied for buyer qualification, audit and regulatory filing, and the product is stored and shipped in its original packaging to preserve quality through the supply chain. For industrial buyers, this documented quality system means one qualification covers years of consistent supply, with the specification sheet serving as the contractual reference for every delivery.

Applications

It is widely used in protein bars, snack bars and baked snacks, where it replaces syrups and sugar while keeping products soft and cohesive. Beverage makers use it in ready-to-drink teas, shakes and fiber drinks for gentle sweetness and a prebiotic boost. In confectionery it softens texture and moderates sweetness in candies and gummies, and in cereals, granola and dairy desserts it adds function without changing flavor. Supplement powders and meal replacements use it as a low-glycemic carbohydrate source with digestive benefits.

Advantages

The tapioca base distinguishes this IMO from corn-sourced grades, giving brands a clean, non-GMO and allergen-free story that premium customers actively look for. Its low glycemic impact and prebiotic action deliver two claims in one ingredient, simplifying labels and marketing. With 90% active content, a 24-month shelf life and reliable 25 kg bag supply, it is a straightforward way to make protein bars, drinks and snacks both healthier and more marketable.
