About The Sugar-Free Polydextrose

Sugar-free polydextrose is a water-soluble dietary fiber with multiple properties.

I. Components and characteristics.

Polydextrose is a dietary fiber made of glucose, sorbitol and citric acid as raw materials, which is mixed in a specific proportion and heated into a molten mixture, and then vacuum condensed. It is sugar-free and will not cause a rapid increase in blood sugar. It is suitable for diabetics and people who pay close attention to blood sugar control. At the same time, polydextrose has low calories and helps control weight.

II. Functions and effects.

1. Improve intestinal function.

Sugar-free polydextrose can promote intestinal peristalsis, increase stool volume, prevent and relieve constipation. As a prebiotic, sugar-free polydextrose can be used by beneficial bacteria in the intestines, promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria, and maintain the balance of intestinal flora.

2. Lower blood lipids.

Sugar-free polydextrose can bind bile acid and cholesterol, reduce their absorption in the intestine, and thus reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood.

3. Increase satiety.

Since sugar-free polydextrose absorbs water and swells in the gastrointestinal tract, it can increase the body’s sense of fullness and reduce food intake, which is helpful for controlling appetite and losing weight.

III. Application areas.

1. In food industry.

Sugar-free polydextrose is widely used in low-sugar or sugar-free foods, such as added to low-sugar biscuits, cakes, beverages, etc., which can increase the dietary fiber content of food without adding too much sugar and calories.

Sugar-free polydextrose can also be used as a thickener, stabilizer and filler to improve the texture and taste of food.

2. In health care products.

Polydextrose and sugar-free polydextrose are contained in many dietary fiber supplements, which are used to improve intestinal health and regulate blood lipids.

In short, sugar-free polydextrose, as a functional food ingredient, has multiple health benefits and will have broad application prospects in the fields of food and health care products.
