Palatinose™: a trade name for isomaltulose

Palatinose™ is a trademark used for isomaltulose, a carbohydrate made from sucrose. The name identifies a branded source of the ingredient. It does not describe a different molecule.

The trademark belongs to its owner, not to FC Materials. Technical documents and ingredient lists normally use the generic name, isomaltulose. Check your market's labelling rules before printing either name.

How this relates to the FC product

FC Materials lists Isomaltulose as a food and supplement ingredient. The FC product page notes that isomaltulose is also marketed under the Palatinose™ trademark. That note describes the ingredient in general and is not an FC brand.

How to specify it when buying

  • Decide first whether you need trademarked material or generic isomaltulose. The chemistry may match, but documents and permissions can differ.
  • If you want Palatinose™ on packs or in advertising, ask who grants permission to use the mark and on what terms.
  • Write the generic name, the grade and the source raw material on your purchase specification.
  • Ask for the manufacturer's name and country of production on every quotation.
  • Keep supplier change control in your contract, so a switch of producer is notified in advance.

Formulation notes

The ingredient is supplied as a dry powder. The FC product page lists uses in drinks, bars, bakery, dairy and supplement blends. Run your own trials on dissolution, flow and pH stability before fixing a recipe.

What to ask your supplier

  • Written confirmation of the producer and whether the lot is trademarked material.
  • A certificate of analysis for each lot, with isomaltulose content and the assay method.
  • An identity test that distinguishes isomaltulose from sucrose and other sugars.
  • Results for heavy metals, microbiology and moisture.
  • Specification sheet, origin statement, allergen statement and halal certificate.
