It is a functional food additive. It is recognized as one of the seven nutrients required by the human body.Among food additives, soluble meal fibres can be used as thickness-adding additives, fill-in additives, and formula additives. It is an important raw material to produce health-care food of low heat, low fat, low cholesterol and low natrium.In April 2013, it is classfied as soluble fiber by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as well as Health providing the human body with the necessary dietary fiber. To replace sugar and reduce the amount of heat and fat. It does not generate heat in itself, and is not absorbed by human body, but it can promote the absorption of other nutrients.

Product Advantage
1.Solubility in water
Polydextrose is easily dissolved in water, the solubility is 80% at 25℃. The dissolution is faster under heating
.
2.Stability
Polydextrose is very stable, it can be steadily stored above 90 days under the condition of exposure at 25℃, 45℃,60℃. At 200℃,the stability is still very good and it doesn't react with acid and alkali.
3.Viscosity
The viscosity of polydextrose solution is higher than sucrose at same concentration.With the temperature rising,polydextrose solution viscosity will lower. The viscosity of polydextrose will increase as the concentration increase at 25℃.
.
4.Moisture retention
When ambient temperature is relatively high, solid polydextrose will absorb water sufficiently.
Polydextrose can be used as humectant. Taking baking foods as example,polydextrose can retard the evaporation of water in baking foods to keep flavor and extend shelf life.
5.Low calorie
It is difficult to be decomposed by organism as polydextrose is the product of polymerization randomly with many types of glycosidic bonds,complicated molecular structure.The calorie value is 1kcal/g
6.Non-dependent on insulin
Polydextrose improves peripheral insulin sensitivity to lower the request for insulin,inhibit insulin secretion,impede the absorption of sugar to realize lower blood sugar.Polydextrose can effectively prevent diabetes.
Application
Globally, consumers have become more concerned about the food and beverages they consume. In fact, 55% of consumers globally are trying to avoid sugars and 52% are looking to add more fibre to their diet.
