What is turmeric curcumin good for?
As a food additive (E100), it’s used to give foods a yellow–orange color and can help protect color by limiting oxidation; health uses are outside its approved role as a colorant.
How much curcumin per day?
The acceptable daily intake for curcumin (E100) is 0–3 mg per kg body weight per day—about 210 mg/day for a 70 kg adult—from all dietary sources; higher supplement doses fall outside food-additive use.

How to make isomalt?
Industrial production converts sucrose to isomaltulose via an enzyme (sucrose isomerase), then hydrogenates it (typically over Raney nickel) to yield an equimolar mix of 1,6‑GPS and 1,1‑GPM—together called isomalt.
How to use isomalt?
Use it as a bulk sweetener and texturizer in sugar‑free hard candies, lozenges, baked goods, and sugar art; it melts and resists crystallization for casting or pulling. Because it’s ~45–65% as sweet as sugar, it’s often blended with high‑intensity sweeteners, and intake should be moderated to avoid gastrointestinal upset.
What is isomalt made of?
An equimolar mixture of two sugar‑alcohol disaccharides derived from sucrose: 6‑O‑α‑D‑glucopyranosido‑D‑sorbitol (GPS) and 1‑O‑α‑D‑glucopyranosido‑D‑mannitol (GPM). On complete hydrolysis it yields glucose (50%), sorbitol (25%), and mannitol (25%).
What is isomalt sugar?
A sugar alcohol (E953) made from sucrose that provides about 2 kcal/g and 45–65% the sweetness of sugar, with minimal impact on blood glucose and low cariogenicity.
What is isomalt used for?
As a low‑calorie bulk sweetener and stabilizer in sugar‑free hard candies, lozenges, chewing gum, baked goods, coatings, and pharmaceutical tablets; it’s also favored for sugar sculpture due to its resistance to crystallization.
