The plaque formation of isomaltulose, a sucrose isomer, was examined in 15 human volunteers with both diet and oral hygiene under supervision. The subjects were requested to refrain from all oral hygiene procedures for 3 days and were provided between-meal snacks containing 157 g of 4 test sugars (100% isomaltulose, 70% isomaltulose + 30% sucrose, 50% isomaltulose + 50% sucrose, and 100% sucrose). The study was repeated 4 times over 4 weeks. The isomaltulose diet resulted in the lowest plaque index, while sucrose induced a significantly greater deposition. In the absence of sucrose-containing snacks, mutans streptococci in saliva decreased below the baseline level. These results suggest that isomaltulose may be a suitable substitute for sucrose in between meal snacks.
在监督下，对15名人类志愿者在饮食和口腔卫生条件下进行了蔗糖异构体异麦芽酮糖醇的菌斑形成研究。受试者被要求在3天内停止所有口腔卫生程序，并提供含157克4种测试糖（100%异麦芽酮糖醇、70%异麦芽酮糖醇+30%蔗糖、50%异麦芽酮糖醇+50%蔗糖和100%蔗糖）的餐间零食。该研究在4周内重复进行了4次。异麦芽酮糖醇饮食导致菌斑指数最低，而蔗糖诱导的沉积明显更多。在没有含蔗糖零食的情况下，唾液中的变形链球菌减少至基线水平以下。这些结果表明，异麦芽酮糖醇可能是餐间零食中蔗糖的合适替代品。
