Product Description

Product Description

Polydextrose is a versatile, water-soluble dietary fiber that plays a significant role in modern food production. It is produced through the polymerization of glucose, with minor amounts of sorbitol and citric acid, resulting in a stable compound that is not completely digested or absorbed by the human body. Due to its low caloric content (approximately 1 kcal per gram) and prebiotic properties, it has gained popularity as a key ingredient in low-calorie, high-fiber, and functional food products.

Application Scope

 

• Food and Beverage Industry:

  • Low-calorie products: Polydextrose is commonly found in sugar-free or low-sugar foods such as desserts, baked goods, and ice creams. It provides the bulk and texture of sugar while significantly reducing the calorie count.
  • Beverages: It is added to beverages like fruit juices, sodas, and flavored waters to increase dietary fiber content without altering the taste or clarity.
  • Sugar substitutes: Often used in combination with artificial sweeteners to improve mouthfeel and sweetness without the addition of sugars.

• Functional Foods:

  • Dietary fiber enrichment: Polydextrose is a source of soluble fiber, making it a valuable ingredient for products targeting digestive health. It promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria (prebiotics), enhancing overall gut health.
  • Weight management products: Due to its ability to create a sense of fullness (satiety) without contributing significantly to caloric intake, polydextrose is used in diet foods, shakes, and meal replacements.
  • Blood sugar control: It is low on the glycemic index, which makes it suitable for diabetic-friendly products, as it has minimal impact on blood glucose levels.

• Health and Wellness:

  • Digestive health: As a prebiotic fiber, it helps support a healthy gut microbiota, improving digestion and bowel regularity.
  • Cholesterol management: Studies suggest that regular consumption of polydextrose may contribute to lowering LDL cholesterol levels, thereby supporting heart health.
  • Caloric reduction: In processed foods, it serves as a low-calorie bulking agent that helps to maintain product texture and body without adding extra calories.
