Explore our certified bulk soluble dietary fiber products tailored for industrial food manufacturing, sports nutrition, and pharmaceutical applications across Uzbekistan.
Isomalto-Oligosaccharide (IMO) is a mixture of short-chain carbohydrates composed of glucose molecules linked together through alpha-(1,6)-glucosidic bonds. Unlike traditional maltodextrin or corn syrup solids dominated by digestively vulnerable alpha-(1,4) linkages, the structural configuration of IMO—featuring isomaltose, panose, isomaltotriose, and higher branched oligosaccharides—renders it partially resistant to human salivary and pancreatic amylase enzymes.
As a premier Chinese manufacturer operating state-of-the-art enzymatic transglucosylation facilities, we engineer bulk Isomalto-Oligosaccharide in both refined powder and concentrated liquid syrup formats specifically tailored for export to Central Asia, with a primary focus on the rapidly expanding food manufacturing hubs of Tashkent, Samarkand, Fergana, and Namangan in Uzbekistan.
Our industrial manufacturing process begins with non-GMO corn starch or tapioca starch sourced under strict bio-security guidelines. The starch undergoes controlled enzymatic liquefaction using alpha-amylase to yield maltose-rich intermediate hydrolysates. Subsequently, a specialized fungal enzyme—alpha-glucosidase (transglucosidase)—catalyzes the conversion of alpha-(1,4) glycosidic bonds into hydrolytically stable alpha-(1,6) linkages.
Uzbekistan is undergoing a rapid modernization of its domestic food processing sector. Driven by government initiatives promoting health-conscious food product development, reduced sugar intake, and export-grade confectionery standards across CIS countries, local manufacturers require reliable, high-purity functional ingredients. Chinese IMO suppliers offer unmatched supply-chain efficiency via the China-Central Asia freight corridor (Yiwu/Xi'an to Tashkent via Khorgos), delivering high-tier prebiotic fiber at cost structures significantly more competitive than Western European alternatives.
How Uzbek food technologists and brand owners integrate Isomalto-Oligosaccharide into traditional and modern commercial food formulations.
IMO acts as an ideal non-crystallizing binder and humectant in traditional Uzbek sesame and sunflower halva, replacing high-glycemic corn syrup while stabilizing moisture and extending shelf-life in continental climates (-20°C to +45°C).
In Uzbekistan’s robust dairy market, IMO powder serves as a soluble prebiotic substrate for Lactobacillus strains in fermented milk drinks (Kefir, Katyk, Suzma), boosting gut-health fiber claims without causing syneresis or taste alteration.
Tashkent’s booming fitness market demands low-sugar, high-protein snack bars. IMO-90 syrup provides essential syrup binding and soft texture retention over 18 months, enabling "Zero Added Sugar" and "High Fiber" packaging compliance.
Provides mouthfeel restoration and Brix balancing in reduced-sugar soft drinks, fruit nectars, and botanical sherbets where intense sweeteners like Stevia or Sucralose require bulking support.
Maintains Maillard browning properties similar to sucrose while offering high heat stability up to 180°C, making it ideal for sugar-reduced biscuits, cakes, and regional baked goods exported to neighboring Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
Direct compression IMO powder grades act as soluble excipients, binders, and carrier matrixes for dietary fiber chewable tablets, sachets, and pediatric vitamin syrups requiring clean sweetness and non-cariogenic profiles.

We combine rigorous Chinese industrial manufacturing scale with international quality assurance and seamless Central Asian export logistics.
Every shipment bound for Tashkent comes backed by comprehensive laboratory documentation, including batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA), ISO22000, FSSC22000, Halal Certification, Kosher, GMO-free statements, and heavy metal test reports verified by third-party auditors (SGS/Eurofins).
Leveraging direct rail cargo routes (Lianyungang/Xi'an to Tashkent Chukursay) and TIR road transport via Khorgos port, we guarantee reliable transit times of 12 to 15 days. Containerized shipments feature moisture-proof PE liners and palletized stretch wrapping designed to withstand transit humidity.
We offer customized product parameters including controlled particle size distributions (80 mesh to 200 mesh superfine powder), custom liquid Brix concentrations (IMO-75 Brix, IMO-80 Brix), and specialized low-monosaccharide fractions tailored to precise client R&D formulations.
Addressing common technical, legal, and transactional inquiries regarding bulk IMO imports from China.
We provide a full export documentation suite compliant with State Customs Committee of Uzbekistan requirements, including batch Certificate of Analysis (COA), Phytosanitary Certificate, Country of Origin (Form E or General Certificate), Bill of Lading / Railway Bill (SMGS), Packing List, Commercial Invoice, and EAC Declaration of Conformity support files.
Our standard MOQ for ocean/rail freight is 1,000 kg (1 Metric Ton). Powder grades are packed in 25kg multi-wall kraft paper bags with an inner food-grade PE liner (or 750kg jumbo bags). Liquid IMO syrup is supplied in 275kg HDPE drums or 1,400kg IBC totes.
IMO demonstrates exceptional thermal stability, enduring processing temperatures up to 180°C without caramelization, acid breakdown, or loss of prebiotic fiber structure. Its humectant properties prevent sugar recrystallization and extend shelf life under hot summer conditions.
Yes. We provide 500g to 2kg evaluation samples free of charge to qualified food and beverage manufacturers, along with matching specification sheets and formulation guides, allowing your quality control team to validate performance before commercial orders.
We accommodate standard international trade terms including Telegraphic Transfer (T/T with 30% deposit and balance against BL/SMGS copy) and Irrevocable Letters of Credit (L/C at sight) issued by top-tier Uzbek commercial banks (e.g., NBU, Ipak Yuli Bank, SQB).
Yes. Based on its chemical structure (≥ 50% or ≥ 90% alpha-1,6 linkage content verified by HPLC), IMO is legally classified as a soluble dietary fiber, allowing brand owners to feature prominent "Source of Fiber" or "High Fiber" claims on retail packaging.
