Palatinose is a by-product of sugar processing, it is practically all that remains of sugar processing.

In fact it is a chemical product even if it is sold regularly in natural products stores, but in nature it does not exist.

It is one of the main by-products of sugar refineries, which contains saccharides (primarily sucrose, glucose and fructose) and a small amount of nitrogenous compounds, vitamins, and trace metal elements as well as colloids (1).

Production is concentrated in Brazil, India and China with around 400 tons of product per year.

It is used in human and animal nutrition.

In animal nutrition problems have been found due to molasses toxicity (2).

It is however an approved food as a sucrose substitute, safer and with some advantages, including greater stability, less digestibility, lower glycemic index and less corrosive than tooth enamel (3).
