Soluble Dietary Fiber-Polydextrose Properties&Standard |
Chemical Class: Randomly linked polymer of glucose (thermal polymerization of glucose)
Description : Polydextrose, white or milky white non-crystalline powder, is a polymer of D-glucose with some bound Sorbitol and Citric acid.
Function : The sugar polymer Polydextrose, because of its bulking properties, is used to replace a number of the technical effects of sucrose in various applications, i.e. soy sauce, baked bread, 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. It has a negligible effect on blood sugar levels and a glycemic index of about 5.

Advantages of Soluble Dietary Fiber-Polydextrose |
-Low calorie (1 calorie per gram)
-Bulking agent, often added to compensate for the bulk lost by substituting sweeteners for sugars. Contributes solids to maintain palatability and textural qualities without sweetness
-Maillard reaction i.e. undergoes browning and flavour development
-Humectant, absorbs water and provides tenderness and softness in baked bread and candy
-Texturiser
-Partial fat replacer
-Tooth friendly
-Suitable for diabetics
-Water-soluble, easily incorporated in food systems.
-Bodying agent, improves mouth feel and viscosity qualities.
-Polydextrose is considered 90% soluble fibre and has a low glycemic index of four to seven
-Soluble Dietary fibre
-Low-calorie (1 Kcal/g) substitute for sugar or fats in various foods.
-Low-Carb
Health Care Function of Soluble Dietary Fiber-Polydextrose |
1.To adjust the metabolizing of fat
Clinic experiments show that a proper sum of TAILIJIE ® Polydextrose in small intestines can produce a layer of membrane, which can prevent the absorbing of fat in the alimentary canal and accelerate the excretion of lipoid compounds, so that it is able to adjust the sum of fat in blood and prevent blood vessel disease in heart and brain.
2. To improve the metabolizing of glucide
TAILIJIE ® Polydextrose can reduce the absorption of glucide, while they themselves can not be absorbed .Low-sugar and low-heat food is helpful to diabetics.
3. To cure constipation and prevent diarrhea
TAILIJIE ® Polydextrose can preserve moisture, accelerate the peristalsis of intestines, soften and enlarge dejecta, and in the end expedite excretion. Obvious curative effect can be seen after 3 days' use.
4. To enhance immunity ability
TAILIJIE ® Polydextrose are good at preserving moisture, they can dilute the consistence of the harmful things in intestines and expedite excretion. Clinic practice proves that soluble fibres can prevent and cure cancer, particularly colon cancer, in some ways.
5. To control the excessive taking of food
TAILIJIE® Polydextrose can help people to prevent excessive taking of food and accumulation of fat.
Main Applications &Reference Use Volume |
