- Abstract
- Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) have been characterized as dietary fibers that resist digestion in the small intestine; however, previous studies suggested that various α-glycosidic linkages in IMOs were hydrolyzed by mammalian α-glucosidases. This study investigated the hydrolysis of IMOs by small intestinal α-glucosidases from rat and human recombinant sucrase–isomaltase complex compared to commonly used fungal amyloglucosidase (AMG) in vitro. Interestingly, mammalian α-glucosidases fully hydrolyzed various IMOs to glucose at a slow rate compared with linear maltooligosaccharides, whereas AMG could not fully hydrolyze IMOs because of its very low hydrolytic activity on α-1,6 linkages. This suggests that IMOs have been misjudged as prebiotic ingredients that bypass the small intestine due to the nature of the assay used. Instead, IMOs can be applied in the food industry as slowly digestible materials to regulate the glycemic response and energy delivery in the mammalian digestive system, rather than as dietary fibers. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
