Isomalt is just one of many sugar alcohols.There is Erythritol,Sorbitol,Mannitol,Maltitol, Xylitol.and Lactitol. In formula they could be used in amounts similar to sugar.But are very expensive as compared to sugar, $1 to $3 a pound. They have a funny side effect called the "laxative effect" if you eat candy containing Mannitol I would be very close to the toilet. The one that has the least laxative effect is Maltitol. The sweet effect in sugar alcohols ranges from 30% to 90% that of sucrose (regular table sugar) depending on type. There has been questions about using Splenda. NO! it is a high potency, non nutritive sweetner, use it in your coffee not sugar work!
Then theres this thing called Intense Sweetners.They are a different colored horse altogether. There is Sucrulose(Splenda), Aspartame(Equal).Also Acesulfame K (Sunette) and Saccharin (Sweet & Low). Pure sucrolose costs about $150 a pound.
