Polydextrose

What is Polydextrose?   

Polydextrose is a D-glucose polymer formed by vacuum polycondensation of glucose, sorbitol, and citric acid in a specific ratio, heated to a molten state. It is a water-soluble dietary fiber, appearing as white or off-white solid granules, readily soluble in water (70% solubility), with a pH of 2.5-7.0 for a 10% aqueous solution. It has no particular taste and is a food component with health benefits, supplementing the body's need for water-soluble dietary fiber. After entering the human digestive system, it produces specific physiological metabolic functions, thereby preventing constipation and fat deposition.

Feature

1. Regulates lipid metabolism: Polydextrose can form a membrane in the small intestine, encapsulating some dietary fat. This effectively limits the absorption of fat in the digestive tract, promotes the excretion of lipid compounds, increases satiety, and reduces food intake, thereby regulating blood lipids, reducing fat accumulation, and preventing obesity.

2. Lowers cholesterol: Polydextrose can adsorb bile acids, cholesterol mutagens, and other organic molecules, inhibiting the rise of total cholesterol (TC) concentration, reducing the synthesis and absorption of bile acids and salts, and preventing coronary artery disease, gallstones, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3. Reduces sugar absorption: Polydextrose can hinder the full contact between food and digestive juices, inhibit glucagon secretion, and slow down glucose absorption, thereby lowering postprandial blood glucose levels, maximizing the effect of insulin, and preventing diabetes.

4. Prevents and treats constipation: Polydextrose can absorb water and swell in the human intestine, retaining moisture, increasing stool volume, stimulating intestinal peristalsis, accelerating defecation frequency, and thus lubricating the intestines, promoting bowel movements, and preventing constipation.

5. Detoxification and skin beautification: Polydextrose can effectively regulate the pH value of the intestine, improve the reproductive environment of beneficial bacteria, and rapidly expand beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, thereby inhibiting the growth of putrefactive bacteria, preventing intestinal mucosal atrophy, and timely excreting toxins and metabolic waste from the body, avoiding the excretion of toxins through the skin, thus achieving the effect of beautifying the skin and preventing diseases such as hemorrhoids, gastroenteritis, and colon cancer.

Applications

Baking and Pastry Products:Used in bread, cakes, biscuits, and other products as a fat substitute and dietary fiber fortifier, reducing calories and improving texture. Its thermal stability makes it suitable for high-temperature baking processes.

Beverages and Dairy Products:Widely used in functional beverages, yogurt, ice cream, and other products, providing the advantages of water solubility and non-stickiness. In low-sugar, low-fat dairy products, it acts as a texture modifier and calorie diluent.

Confectionery and Snack Foods:Used in sugar-free candies, chewing gum, chocolate, and other products as a low-calorie filler and water-retaining agent, maintaining product softness and extending shelf life. It can be used for fiber fortification in snack foods, breakfast cereals, and sauces.

Health Foods and Medicinal Foods:As a core ingredient in dietary fiber supplements, it is directly formulated into powders or tablets for intestinal health management. Used in foods for special medical purposes to improve constipation in patients who are bedridden for extended periods or have chronic diseases.

Meat Products and Seafood Processing: Used in fish paste, sausages, and other meat products to improve texture, increase water retention, and supplement dietary fiber. It is used as a fiber-reinforcing material in breadcrumbs, coatings, and other outer crispy coatings.

Product Parameters

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
