Isomalt

Isomalt is a low-calorie sweetener and is half as sweet as granulated sugar. Isomalt does not dissolve as well in water, but it is very stable and does not break down as easily at high temperatures as sugar. No discolouration occurs when heated. Isomalt makes it possible to create sublime, shiny decorations.
