Isomalt and lactitol are commonly called bulk sweeteners because their sizes are nearly the same as sugar.
Isomalt is considered to have 2 calories per gram.
Isomalt may be mixed with an artificial sweetener to bring the level of sweetness up to what it would be if sugar were used.

 Cargill Sweetness Solutions: Characteristics
Isomalt is a sugar substitute consisting of dissaccharide alcohols.
Isomalt is available as a crystallised powder with different granulometries, as a pure syrup and in a liquid blend with a special maltitol syrup in which the content of maltitol and hydrogenated oligosaccharides are balanced.
As a consequence of the conversion of the reducing sugar group of the intermediate isomaltulose into an alcohol function during the production of isomalt, the chemical stability is improved and the tendency to undergo Maillard reactions (browning) is substantially reduced.

 Calorie Control Council | Reduced-Calorie Sweeteners: Isomalt
Isomalt gives products bulk, texture and mild sweetness, while the intense sweetener brings the level of sweetness up to what it would be if sugar were used.
Isomalt’s physiological characteristics are a result of this process: Isomalt does not promote tooth decay, has a very low blood glucose effect (low glycemic response), has an effect like dietary fiber in the gut and has only half of the caloric value of sucrose.
Isomalt's lower caloric value is partly due to the fact that intestinal enzymes are not able to easily hydrolyze its more stable disaccharide bond.

Isomalt is an artificial sugar substitute, a type of sugar alcohol, which is primarily used for its sugar-like physical properties.
Isomalt is typically blended with a high intensity sweetener such as sucralose, so that the mixture has approximately the sweetness of sugar.
An interesting use of isomalt is found in the product DiabetiSweet, a sugar substitute sold for baking use and composed of a blend of isomalt and acesulfame potassium, but it has a bitter taste (due to the acesulfame potassium) and lacks the caramelizing properties of sugar.

Isomalt is a Polyol (a sugar alcohol) while it shares a commonality with sucrose in it's texture and appearance and it is based on sucrose, that's where the similarity ends.
The isomalt we use here, straight out of the box, gets un-cerimoniously dumped into a pan, heated until disolved and either poured onto a sil-pat and worked just like pulled sugar, or cast, same as sugar.
Isomalt is crystal clear when cast properly and looks great when combined with almond nougat, or chocolate; and because it's so clear, you can shove a photocopy of a corporte logo or fancy script under it, and pipe out the image with tempered chocolate....

 Cerestar ups isomalt production
Discovered in the 1960s, isomalt is made from sucrose - with 50 per cent of its sweetness, and looks much like table sugar as it is white, crystalline and odourless.
Isomalt is a mixture of two disaccharide alcohols, gluco mannitol and gluco sorbitol, provides approximately two calories per gram and is synergistic with other sweeteners.
An added appeal is that isomalt, a self-affirmed GRAS substance in the US, does not promote dental caries because oral bacteria cannot readily convert it into decay causing acids.

The objective was to compare reaction of adult consumers of confectionery to milk chocolate made with either isomalt, sucrose or sorbitol.
In a double-blind crossover trial isomalt chocolate was associated in healthy consumers (n = 58) with increased motion frequency, wind and flatulence compared with sucrose chocolate.
Both isomalt and sorbitol chocolate were associated with higher incidence of wind and flatulence than for no chocolate, but only sorbitol chocolate increased motion frequency.
