Neomalt (Isomalt) — Sugar-Free Excipient Supplier, Hyderabad
Product Overview
Neomalt, also known as Isomalt, is a sugar substitute derived from sucrose with approximately half the sweetness of sugar. It is non-cariogenic, low-glycaemic, and highly suitable for use in pharmaceutical lozenges, chewable tablets, and hard candy. Its excellent direct compression properties and high melting point make it ideal for sugar-free formulations.

What makes Isomalt ideal for pharmaceutical hard candy and lozenge formulations?
Isomalt has a high melting point (145–150°C), very low hygroscopicity, minimal reducing sugar content, and excellent heat stability — making it the preferred base for sugar-free hard candy and pharmaceutical lozenges. Unlike regular sugar or Sorbitol, Isomalt-based lozenges do not stick together in humid conditions, have a longer shelf life, and maintain gloss and clarity. Its sweetness (50% of sucrose) can be boosted with small amounts of Sucralose or Acesulfame-K for a cleaner taste.
What are the glycaemic properties of Isomalt — is it suitable for diabetic patients?
Isomalt has a very low glycaemic index (GI ~2) and only partially digested in the small intestine, with remaining portion fermented by colonic bacteria. It provides approximately 2.0 kcal/g versus sucrose's 4 kcal/g. Blood glucose and insulin response are minimal, making Isomalt a well-documented sugar substitute for diabetic-safe pharmaceutical and food products. It carries a permitted health claim for tooth-friendliness (non-cariogenic) in several markets.
Can Isomalt be used in tablet coating operations?
Yes. Isomalt is used in sugar-free panning (coating) operations as an alternative to traditional sucrose-based pan coating. Isomalt panning produces a hard, smooth, white coat that is non-hygroscopic and stable in humid climates — a significant advantage in Indian manufacturing conditions. The coating process requires specific temperature and airflow control but the resulting film quality and stability exceed sucrose-based coatings in humid environments.
