Polydextrose
The sugar polymer Polydextrose, because of its bulking properties, is used to replace a number of the technical effects of sucrose in various applications,baked goods, salad dressings, frozen desserts, and candies.It is a unique reduced-calorie (one calorie/gram) bulking agent that can be used to substitute sugars and, in some instances fats. Because of its structure, Polydextrose is not readily digested, so it is a low-calorie sucrose substitute. Polydextrose is a form of highly soluble fibre used to replace sugar and other high-glycemic carbohydrates.
Polydextrose is a water-soluble dietary fiber alias. White or off-white solids, soluble in water, solubility of 70%, 10% aqueous solution of the PH value of 2.5-7.0, no special taste, is a kind of health functional food components, can add the human body needs water-soluble dietary fiber. After entering the human digestive system to produce specific physiological and metabolic functions, thus preventing constipation and fat deposition.
Polydextrose is lower in calories than regular sugar, and has 1 kcal/gram compared to 4 kcal/gram in normally digested carbohydrates.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used to impart low calorie flavor and fiber to marketed products,
many of them over-the-counter.
Because polydextrose is water soluble but indigestable, it has also been used as a fiber-bulking agent in the food industry for products that are typically low in fiber. In this way, manufacturers can claim on their food labels that the products have dietary fiber value.
