| Material Notes | a disaccharide consisting of two glucose units in an alpha (1-6) glycosidic linkage. Isolated from partial hydrolysates of amylopectin and dextrans Isomaltose is a naturally occurring disaccharide composed of two glucose units in an alpha (1-6) glycosidic linkage. -- Pubchem; A deficiency of sucrase-isomaltase, an integral protein of the small intestine brush-border membrane responsible for catalyzing the hydrolysis of dietary sucrose and some of the products of starch digestion, results in osmotic diarrhea when the disaccharide is ingested, because absorption cannot occur until after hydrolysis produces the component monosaccharides. (OMIM 222800,); It is particularly suitable as a non-cariogenic sucrose replacement and is favorable in products for diabetics and prediabetic dispositions. --Wikipedia |
