A novel process for producing isomaltose and uses thereof and comprising the steps of contacting saccharides, which have a glucose polymerization degree of at least two and alpha-1,4 glucosidic linkage as a linkage at the non-reducing end, with an alpha-isomaltosylglucosaccharide-forming enzyme, in the presence or the absence of alpha-isomaltosyl-transferring enzyme to form a-isomaltosylglucosaccharides, which have a glucose polymerization degree of at least three, alpha-1,6 glucosidic linkage as a linkage at the non-reducing end, and alpha-1,4 glucosidic linkage as a linkage other than the non-reducing end, and/or to form cyclo{->6)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->3)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->6)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1''3)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->}; contacting the saccharides so formed with isomaltose-releasing enzyme to release isomaltose; and collecting the released isomaltose; and uses thereof.
