1. A solid isomalt composition, comprising
(a) glycosylated isomalt components 1-O-(6′-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol (6′-g-1,1-GPM), 6-O-(6′-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (6′-g-1,6-GPS), 1,6-di-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (1-g-1,6-GPS), and 1,6-di-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol (6-g-1,1-GPM), wherein the weight ratio of 6′-g-1,1-GPM:6′-g-1,6-GPS:1-g-1,6-GPS:6-g-1,1-GPM in the isomalt composition is 1:(0.7-1.3):(0.3-1.1):(1-2),
(b) at least 15% w/w of 1-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol (1,1-GPM),
(c) 40% to 80% w/w of 6-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (1,6-GPS),
(d) 0.1% to 1.0% w/w of 1-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (1,1-GPS),
(e) 0.01% to 0.3% w/w of mannitol, and
(f) 0.01% to 0.4% w/w of sorbitol, each based on the total weight of dry matter (DM) of the isomalt composition, and
wherein the isomalt composition further comprises 2% to 6% w/w of water based on the total weight of the isomalt composition.
