Product introduction
Polydextrose is a synthetic polymer of glucose, commonly used in the food and beverage industry as a low-calorie bulking agent, texturizer, and dietary fiber. It is a versatile ingredient with several functional and nutritional benefits. Its ability to reduce calories, improve texture, and enhance fiber content makes it a popular choice in the food and beverage industry, particularly in products targeting health-conscious consumers.

1. Chemical Structure and Properties
Composition: Polydextrose is a polysaccharide made by polymerizing glucose, along with small amounts of sorbitol and citric acid. The resulting polymer contains a complex mixture of glycosidic bonds.
Appearance: It is typically a white to off-white powder.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water, making it easy to incorporate into various food and beverage formulations.
Caloric Content: Provides only 1 kcal/g, significantly lower than sugar (4 kcal/g), making it a popular choice for low-calorie products.
Sweetness: It has a mild, slightly sweet taste, but its sweetness is only about 10% that of sucrose (table sugar).
2. Functional Benefits
Bulking Agent: Polydextrose adds volume and texture to food products without significantly increasing calories, making it ideal for reduced-calorie and sugar-free foods.
Texture Improvement: It enhances the mouthfeel and texture of products, particularly in low-fat or low-sugar formulations.
Moisture Retention: Helps retain moisture in baked goods, improving shelf life and freshness.
Stability: Heat-stable and acid-stable, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including baking, cooking, and acidic beverages.


3. Nutritional Benefits
Dietary Fiber: Polydextrose is classified as a soluble dietary fiber. It resists digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract and is partially fermented in the colon, promoting gut health.
Low Glycemic Impact: It has a minimal effect on blood sugar levels, making it suitable for diabetic-friendly products.
Prebiotic Effects: Its partial fermentation in the gut supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to improved digestive health.
4. Applications in Food and Beverage
Bakery Products: Used in cakes, cookies, and bread to reduce calories and improve texture.
Dairy Products: Added to yogurts, ice creams, and milk-based beverages to enhance creaminess and reduce sugar content.
Confectionery: Used in sugar-free candies, chocolates, and gums as a bulking agent.
Beverages: Incorporated into low-calorie and fiber-enriched drinks.
Nutritional Supplements: Used in meal replacement shakes, protein bars, and dietary supplements to boost fiber content.
