General description

Palatinose is more slowly absorbed than sucrose and is therefore useful as a sweetener for diabetic patients

Application

Palatinose has been used in a study to assess human intestinal disaccharidases and hereditary disaccharide intolerance. It has also been used in a study to investigate the stimulation of sucrose degradation and starch synthesis in growing potato tubers.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Palatinose is a disaccharide having an α(1→6) linkage between D-glucose and D-fructose and is similar to sucrose in its physicochemical properties. It is produced from sucrose in some bacteria by the action of sucrose isomerase. In mammalian gut, palatinose is hydrolyzed and absorbed much more slowly than sucrose.
