Product Description
Polydextrose is a low-calorie, water-soluble dietary fiber synthesized by partial polymerization of glucose, with small amounts of sorbitol and citric acid. It appears as a white to off-white powder or granules, odorless, with a mildly sweet taste. Recognized for its prebiotic properties, high stability, and minimal glycemic impact, polydextrose is widely used as a bulking agent, sugar replacer, and fiber enhancer in food, beverages, and nutraceuticals. It is non-cariogenic, partially fermented in the gut, and compliant with clean-label trends, making it a versatile ingredient for reduced-sugar and functional food formulations.
