Is it a reducing sugar?144.30.79.141 (talk) 15:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Based on Reducing sugar, a reducing sugar must have a free aldehyde group or a free ketone group. This article does not state that it has either of these. Isomaltulose is ordinary sugar (dextrose) with a enzyme-modified disaccharide bond. Is the fact that Isomaltulose is not a reducing sugar significant for inclusion in this article or not?

I have found a reference that claims that Isomaltulose is a reducing sugar. David Spector (talk) 15:57, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

The ring structure of the component fructose opens into a linear structure with a carbonyl group as in ketones and aldehydes making isomaltulose a reducing sugar. Note that the structure shown for isomaltulose indicates this. Anamei Kent, 9 February 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anamie kent2 (talk • contribs) 14:44, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Is this page a commercial?

I notice quite a bit of information lifted directly from the company's website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.207.91.158 (talk) 17:48, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Agree. It certainly needs work. I added some cleanup templates. -Tartaros (talk) 17:54, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Last decade

One of the paragraphs begins "The last decade has had considerable interest in isomaltulose". Apart from needing to specify when the last decade was, I do not think this sounds good English, and I am wondering whether it would be better as "In the last decade, researchers have shown considerable interest in isomaltulose".
